Italian Mid-Century White Marble Jewelry Box with Gilt Metal Mounts
Located in Hamburg, DE
This rare Italian jewelry box, crafted in the 1960s, is made from white translucent marble and beautifully echoes the tradition of opaline jewelry caskets produced in Italy, Bohemia, and France between 1850 and 1920. Larger than most boxes of its kind, this hinged mid-century jewelry casket is both a decorative statement and a functional container for precious objects. It rests on elegant paw feet and is enhanced by finely detailed gilt metal mounts. The mounts are delicately ribbed and feature a continuous floral relief ornament, underlining the refined craftsmanship. The matte, slightly rough surface shows a few minor scratches but no chips or cracks. Unlike glass, marble reveals its natural veining and subtle color variations, which become particularly enchanting when sunlight shines through the stone. This Italian mid-century marble jewelry box radiates timeless charm and makes a striking addition to any collection of vintage decorative objects, antique jewelry caskets...

Vintage, Mid-Century and Antique Boxes

From mere trinkets to useful receptacles that serve a distinct purpose, antique boxes as decorative objects have come in many forms over the years. No matter what they’re made of or where they end up in your home, decorative boxes add both style and storage to your space.

The decorative box that is likely most common is the jewelry box. These boxes were originally known as jewel caskets and were in common use in Ancient Egypt, as most Egyptians wore some sort of jewelry. A portable jewelry box, in its original intended use, was integral to keeping your jewelry safe and secure. This accessory has transformed in size, shape and appearance over the years. Initially it was common for a jewelry box to bear intricate ornamentation. Whether they’re mid-century modern works of marble and brass or feature playful Art Deco–style geometric decor, jewelry boxes boast real staying power.

Snuff boxes began to soar in popularity during the 17th century (and were commonplace in European homes by the mid-19th century). The boxes, some hand-painted with landscape scenes, some made from gold, porcelain or stone, contained a small amount of tobacco, which users would sniff, or “snuff,” throughout the day. Some particularly ornamental snuff boxes featured enameled designs or were set with precious gems and were given as gifts or party favors, particularly at the coronation of royalty or other lavish events.

Whether you’re organizing important mail in the foyer or tucking away medications in your bathroom, antique boxes — be they metal tea caddies, sterling-silver decorative boxes or Victorian cigar boxes made of oak (even if you don’t smoke) — are a sophisticated solution to help keep the surfaces in your home clutter-free. And no matter if you’re seeking a decorative box to beautify a desktop or bestow upon a loved one, you are sure to find something you love in the collection of antique and vintage boxes on 1stDibs.
