Beautiful Italian hand carved trinket or cigarette box in soft olive green alabaster. The box is covered with delicate veins and markings in pale creamy-green hues with hints of rust and chocolate brown.
The stone is finished with a lacquer that adds a subtle shine. A gold tone metal hinge and edging secures the box and lid.
Natural aesthetic piece from Italy, c1960s.
Approximately 4.3cm tall, 15.4cm wide and 10.4cm in depth.
Lovely aged condition with some very small nibbles, marks and scratches gathered over the years. The hinge works smoothly and is secure.
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.
