Mid-Century Modern Tessellated Antler, Chrome & Granite Box by Jonson & Marcius

About the Item

This bold and sophisticated decorative box was realized by the esteemed artisans Gene Jonson and Robert Marcius in the United States, circa 1970. This is a particularly stunning example of their practice. It features a tessellated antler top- showcasing the inherent organic texture of the material- with a central oval medallion in anthracite granite. This grisaille medallion, circumscribed in bronze, appears particularly brilliant owing to a rich natural profusion of mica. The top sits on a volumetric rectangular base in lustrous chrome, whose interior is lined in anthracite gray suede. While this is a perfectly utilitarian box- ideal for storing any number of precious items- it is also an objet d'art in its own right that promises to beautify any surface that it graces. The piece is signed "Jonson + Marcius" and inscribed "No 11186". Excellent vintage condition. In the early 1970s, Gene Jonson and Robert Marcius Henri Bendel and Bergdorft Goodman, among others, with their handcrafted jewelry. They also custom made furniture, sculptures and accessories for the renowned midcentury designer Karl Springer. Other clients of the New York firm included Cartier and Tiffany. Their work continues to have a thriving market of collectors around the world. American, circa 1970 Dimensions: 6.25" H x 10" W x 6.25" D.

Mid-Century Squared Lucite and Chrome Pocket Emptier in Dior Style, France 1970s

By Christian Dior

Located in Roma, IT

Stunning midcentury Lucite and chrome squared valet tray or ashtray. This wonderful item was produced in France in the style of Christian Dior in 1970. The pocket emptier is lovely because of the beautiful straight lines and the chromed metal central part, making it look like a cube of ice with a floating rounded chromed plate in the middle. A wonderful example of design from the 1970s, both for the fusion of materials and colours. The chromed plate can be moved, changing the shape of the item. A gorgeous item that will enhance a midcentury-style living room, studio or entrance hall. Christian Dior was founded in 1946 by designer Christian Dior. It currently designs and retails leather goods, fashion accessories, footwear, jewelry, timepieces, fragrance, makeup, and skincare products, while also maintaining its tradition as a creator of haute-couture under the Christian Dior Couture division. The Christian Dior label remains largely for women's offerings, although the company also operates the Dior Homme division for men and the baby Dior...
