Alabaster jewellery box, c1960s.
Italian hand carved trinket box in beautiful olive green alabaster with delicate pale green veins and markings. A patch of cloud-like cream and rust coloured markings covers the upper right corner of the lid.
The stone is finished with a lacquer that adds a subtle shine. A gold tone metal hinge and edging secures the box and lid.
Slight signs of age add to its natural aesthetic.
Mid Century piece from Italy.
Approximately 4cm tall, 10cm wide and 8.5cm in depth.
Lovely aged condition with some very small nibbles, marks and scratches gathered over the years. The hinge works smoothly and is secure, some rusting and age marks to the metalwork.
All our pieces have a past and may feature age-related marks which we believe add to their charm. If you have any questions about this item or would like to see further photographs, please do get in touch.
