Small Vintage Italian Alabaster Cylinder Hinge Lidded Casket

Presenting a striking mid-century Italian alabaster cylindrical casket, a beautiful convergence of natural stone and warm metallic accents. The exterior boasts exceptional, dynamic veining in varied shades of luminous white and soft grey, capturing a dramatic sense of movement across the polished stone. A sturdy, subtly patinated brass band encircles the center, providing a secure hinge and a rich visual contrast to the cool tones of the alabaster.

Opening the hinged lid reveals a smooth, unlined interior that is perfectly suited for safeguarding delicate rings, cherished keepsakes, or small desk accessories. The underside of the piece retains its original gold foil label, which reads "Alabaster Stone Hand Made in Italy," confirming its authentic mid-to-late 20th-century origins. With its elegant, understated silhouette and classical materials, this petite storage box brings a refined touch of antiquity to the home, effortlessly complementing Neoclassical, Moody Vintage, and Dark Academia aesthetics.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
