About the Item

This small yet striking lidded box was crafted in Italy from richly colored red marble and still retains its original paper label, adding to its authenticity and charm. The surface is relief-carved, giving the piece a raw, almost brutalist character. This textured finish not only highlights the natural veining of the stone but also creates an organic feel—at first glance, the marble almost resembles coral, a resemblance enhanced by both the deep color and the unique carving technique. Compact and highly decorative, this box makes a distinctive addition to any collection of fine stonework or Italian decorative arts. Perfect for display on a desk, shelf, or sideboard, it can also serve as an elegant container for small treasures. The piece is vintage and shows signs of use, including minor chips to the surface, which do not detract from its beauty but rather attest to its age and history. A fine example of Italian craftsmanship with an artistic edge.

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.

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...
