This exquisite vintage MCM Italian alabaster box reflects the craftsmanship and style of renowned Italian artisans such as Fratelli Coppini and Angelo Pinna, who were celebrated for their refined alabaster and onyx creations. The use of luxurious green onyx and turquoise hues, paired with a brass hinged top, evokes the mid-century Italian decorative arts tradition, where natural stone was expertly carved into elegant objets d’art. Pieces like this were often produced in Volterra, the historic center of Italian alabaster craftsmanship, making it a rare and collectible example of Italy’s mid-20th-century design heritage.
This stunning mid-century Italian alabaster box, dating to the 1950s, is crafted from exquisite onyx-green with turquoise-blue tone (interior). The piece showcases a beautifully veined natural pattern, with a rich translucency that enhances its visual appeal. The brass-mounted hinged lid adds a touch of elegance, reflecting the fine craftsmanship associated with Italian artisans of the era.
Rare and highly collectible, this luxurious decorative box embodies the sophistication of mid-century Italian design, making it a perfect addition to any curated collection or an opulent statement piece for display.
