⌛History Behind The Piece⌛
Italian onyx décor rose to prominence in the mid-20th century as workshops across Verona and Tuscany became known for precision-cut stone homewares. Craftsmen shaped blocks of local onyx into sculptural forms that complemented the era’s shift toward natural materials and clean-lined silhouettes. This piece reflects that legacy—hand-carved, polished, and designed to feel both modern and enduring.
