A Stunning Pair of Mid-Century Onyx Dolphins — 1960s A beautiful pair of vintage natural onyx dolphin sculptures, dating to the 1960s. These figurines showcase organic veining, with colors shifting from translucent light green to warm brown and cream tones.
The two dolphins are mirrored, making them perfect to display together as decorative bookends, on a mantel, or inside a Mid-Century Modern or Hollywood Regency cabinet.
While they bear no original labels or signatures, the style and high-gloss smooth finish are highly characteristic of fine Italian vintage craftsmanship from that era.
