Striking set of four carved natural tiger’s eye stone catchall trays, dating to the mid-20th century, circa 1960s–1970s.
Each tray is individually cut and polished from substantial sections of natural tiger’s eye, revealing the material’s distinctive chatoyant banding in rich tones of golden brown, amber, bronze, honey, and deep black. As the viewing angle changes, the polished surfaces produce the characteristic shifting optical effect for which tiger’s eye is prized.
The group includes four different forms and sizes, ranging from compact square examples to larger geometric trays with faceted corners and softly rounded recesses. Each piece has a deeply carved central well, allowing the set to function beautifully as catchall trays, vide-poches, jewelry trays, desk accessories, or purely decorative objects.
