About the Item
This exquisite lidded bonbonnière was crafted in Italy during the first half of the 20th century and showcases the elegance of fine materials and skilled craftsmanship. Made from a fresh green marble—sometimes also referred to as alabaster—it has a subtle, natural veining that brings life and texture to the piece. The stone’s semi-translucent quality allows light to pass through softly, giving it a gentle, almost luminous presence.
The marble body is complemented by high-quality brass mounts richly decorated with antique-style ornaments, including a patera frieze, egg-and-dart motif, and bead detailing. The handles feature graceful floral scrolls, adding a refined touch. As a striking finishing detail, the lid is topped with a mounted pearl (untested for authenticity), which serves as both a decorative focal point and functional grip.
A luxurious object that blends functionality with timeless design, this Italian bonbonnière makes a beautiful addition to any collection of fine decorative arts, whether used for sweets, small treasures, or simply as an elegant display piece.

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. Unlike glass, marble reveals its natural veining and subtle color variations, which become particularly enchanting when sunlight shines through the stone. 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...
