1980s Vintage Postmodern Tessellated Cream and Black Stone Box With Domed Lid and Black Marble Inlay

Description

Vintage tessellated stone box crafted in creamy marble tiles. The domed lid is framed with a black marble inlay surround, making this piece not only a functional container but a compelling object. Hand-assembled in a geometric mosaic of natural stone, the piece showcases subtle veining in tones of ivory, taupe, and ochre. Striking visual contrast and a refined, postmodern aesthetic reminiscent of Karl Springer and Maitland-Smith designs.
