Description from the seller
Elegant and refined pair of rectangular vanity jewelry boxes, handmade in Italy in the mid-20th century (estimated period: the 1950s–1970s). The cases are carved in translucent natural stone (alabaster or onyx) with splendid warm yellow-ivory shades, veined by natural streaks that make each piece unique.
The upper lids are adorned with delicate and detailed hand-crafted floral miniature motifs.
Both pieces feature metallic connecting hinges on the back and polished glossy edging. A decorative pair with great retro charm, ideal for collectors of Italian artistic stone craftsmanship (a tradition typical of the Volterra workshops in Tuscany) or as decorative elements for classic or eclectic interiors.
