Italian Lapis Lazuli, Rock Crystal, & Moss Agate Table Box, Vermeil Hinge, 1970s

About the Item

Italian Lapis Lazuli, Rock Crystal, and Moss Agate Table Box with Vermeil Hinge, Circa 1970s A refined and sculptural Italian table box dating to the 1970s, expertly composed of three distinct semiprecious stones: richly veined lapis lazuli, translucent rock crystal, and atmospheric moss agate. The exterior features deeply saturated blue lapis with striking natural white calcite inclusions and precision-polished edges that emphasize the depth and complexity of the stone. The hinged lid opens to reveal a luminous interior: the base is lined in pale rock crystal, while the lid is inset with a dramatic slab of moss agate, whose organic cloud-like inclusions evoke an ethereal landscape in stone. Together, these elements create a compelling interplay of texture, color, and transparency. A sleek gold-over-silver (vermeil) piano hinge complements the modernist silhouette, underscoring the superior craftsmanship typical of Italian lapidary workshops of the era. Though unmarked, the piece exemplifies the meticulous stone-cutting and seamless construction associated with high-end decorative objects from Italy’s golden age of modern design. Perfect as a jewelry or desk box, or admired purely as a decorative accent with natural elegance and visual intrigue. Dimensions: 5 in. W x 3.25 in. D x 1.25 in. H Condition: Excellent vintage condition with minimal wear consistent with age.
