🛕 History and symbolism
The base and the cup-shaped parts are made of veined green onyx (sometimes called "Pakistani onyx").
It is a natural stone ranging in color from pale green to beige, with white, brown, or reddish veins.
This material was widely used in the 1960s-1980s to make decorative objects (ashtrays, lamps, statuettes, scales).
A true testament to vintage charm, this onyx and brass scale illustrates a refined taste for decorative objects that blend natural stone and gilded metal.
Imported mainly from Italy, Pakistan or Mexico, these creations evoke the scales of Themis, the Greek goddess of Justice, a symbol of fairness and harmony.
Designed not to weigh down, but to adorn, they bring a touch of classic elegance and a subtle symbolic aura to any space they decorate.
They take up the symbolism of the scales of Themis, the Greek goddess of justice, but for a purely decorative purpose.
💬 General Notes
- The onyx used is often calcite/aragonite onyx, not gem-quality, but prized for its natural veined colors (olive green, honey, brown, ivory).
- These objects, combining stone and metal, embodied the accessible luxury of the 60s-80s, symbols of refinement and exoticism.
- Today, they are sought after for their retro and artisanal look.
