A magnificent Italian decorative amphora, handcrafted during the 1950s, combining luxurious gold-plated brass with a beautifully polished natural onyx body.
Inspired by the elegant forms of the Neoclassical and Empire period, this impressive urn features finely cast twin scrolling handles, a richly decorated square base raised on four ornamental feet, and a flared neck with graceful proportions. The warm golden finish contrasts beautifully with the unique veining of the natural onyx, where every shade and pattern is entirely created by nature, making each example truly one of a kind.
Beyond its sculptural beauty, the amphora is fully hollow and can be used as a decorative vessel for water or floral arrangements, although it is equally striking as a standalone display piece.
The original manufacturer’s label remains attached to the underside, confirming its Italian production. With its substantial weight and refined craftsmanship, this amphora represents an excellent example of high-quality Italian decorative arts from the mid-twentieth century.
Perfect for collectors of Italian design, neoclassical interiors, Hollywood Regency décor, luxury home furnishings, or anyone seeking an elegant statement piece.
