A dog stretched out along its front paws, worked in warm amber crystal with a black muzzle and ears. The long reclining line is difficult to pull in one piece, which is why the shape carries more craft than its simplicity suggests. 16.2 cm....

The middle elephant, 21 cm, with the trunk raised and the body banded in warm rainbow colour. Shown on a plinth in the catalogue, but it stands perfectly well on a shelf — the base is finished flat and clear. Worked by hand from...

A seated bear in clear crystal with three red ladybirds set on its paws and shoulder — the only colour on the piece, and enough. A christening or new-baby gift that survives the nursery and becomes a shelf piece afterwards. 11.5 × 9.5 ×...

German Mechanical Skeleton Clock with Numerals on Glass A skeleton movement standing under a tall conical glass dome, its brass wheels and escapement fully exposed and the numerals printed onto the glass itself rather than a dial. The base is polished mahogany. Made in...

A small seated cat in clear crystal scattered with blue and red murrine — sections of coloured cane sliced and fused into the body, so the pattern sits inside the crystal rather than on it. 8.5 × 4.5 × 12 cm. Worked by hand...

A sea turtle with its flippers spread, the shell swirled through with deep blue and turquoise and a fine sparkle held inside the colour, like water seen from above. Low and wide at 11.5 × 9.5 × 5 cm — a piece for a...

The tallest of the elephants at 25.5 cm, its body banded in rainbow colour that runs the full height of the trunk. Large enough to read from across a room, and light enough that it still belongs on a shelf rather than a plinth....

The tallest figure in the collection at 27.5 cm: a parrot standing upright on a clear base, its plumage striped in green, teal, and violet, with a fine crest drawn out at the top. A piece with enough height to stand alone on a...

An angelfish worked flat, its body filled with blue and white murrine florets and its fins drawn out to fine clear points. Held up to a window the murrine read individually, like a section through a garden. 12 × 3.5 × 12.5 cm. Worked...

A dolphin arched through a clear crystal wave, the body seeded with blue and red murrine that gather along the back and thin out toward the tail. Smaller and quieter than the rainbow dolphin, and easier to place. 12.5 × 7 × 8 cm....

A ladybird the size of a thumbnail, its shell pulled in red crystal and spotted in black while still hot. At 5 cm it is the smallest piece in the collection — the one that ends up on a desk, a windowsill, or a...

An eagle caught at the moment it leaves the rock, cast in bronze by hand and mounted on a cluster of natural rock crystal and amethyst. The stone is quarried, not moulded, so the base of every piece differs — its colour, its fracture,...

An eagle at full span, both wings extended and the body tilted into the turn, cast in bronze and set on a polished marble oval with clusters of amethyst at either side. Where the standing eagle is about weight, this one is about reach...

A camel and an Arabian oryx sharing one base — two animals of the same desert, cast at the same scale so neither dominates. The straight horns of the oryx cut against the camel's curve, which is the reason the pairing works. 33 cm....

A dolphin caught mid-leap, the arc of the body striped in turquoise, green, and amber along its length. Mounted so the tail carries the weight and the head stays clear of the surface — the whole piece reads as movement held still. 16.3 ×...

A camel folded down onto its knees — the resting posture, and the harder of the two to model convincingly. At 20 cm it is the smallest Ebano piece in the range, low and wide enough for a desk or a shelf at eye...

A rider seated on a walking horse, hair and dress carried back by the movement — a quieter subject than the rearing and jumping pieces, and the one that reads best in a room rather than an office. Bronze on a deep amethyst bed....

A seabird resting rather than flying, its body divided cleanly between red and yellow with a black beak drawn to a point. The form is simplified almost to a silhouette, which is what lets the colour carry it. 10.5 cm. Worked by hand from...

A gazelle standing alert, head raised and long ringed horns swept back, cast in bronze on a bed of rock crystal over marble. The stance is the whole piece — weight on the front legs, ready to move. The stone is quarried rather than...

A bull standing four-square, the body banded horizontally in green, rose, amber, and blue, with horns and tail drawn out in clear crystal. The stance is what makes it — heavy in the shoulder, light on the legs. 23 × 11.5 cm. Worked by...

Two hearts lifted on a pair of wings, finished in polished silver tone on a mirrored disc. This is the large version at 20 cm — enough presence for a console or an entrance table, and the size usually chosen for a wedding or...

The small version of the winged hearts, 11 cm on a mirrored disc. Sized for a bedside table or a desk, and the one bought when the gesture matters more than the scale. Made in Italy and supplied in its original Ottaviani box with...

A seahorse in softer colour than the rainbow version — rose, cream, and pale amber running the length of the curved body, with the dorsal fin and crest pulled out by hand. 23.5 cm on a clear foot. Worked by hand from hot crystal,...

A camel standing at rest, the bronze worked to show the coat rather than smoothed over it, mounted on a wide bed of raw amethyst. Of everything Ebano casts, the camels are the pieces that belong most naturally in a Saudi home. 33 cm....

The largest bird in the collection at 56 cm: an eagle dropping onto its prey, wings swept back and talons forward, mounted on a split amethyst geode whose violet interior is left exactly as it came out of the ground. The stone is quarried...

Horse and rider clearing a fence, the animal folded at the knee and the jockey low over the neck — the instant of the jump rather than its approach or landing. Cast in bronze over a base of amethyst and citrine on marble. The...

Two camels on one base, one standing and one seated — the pair as they are actually found, not posed in matching positions. Bronze on a bed of rock crystal and amethyst over black marble. 32 cm. The stone is quarried rather than cast,...

Three horses moving together across a marble slab set with rock crystal and amethyst — one leading, two following, each cast at a different phase of the same stride. Composition is what this piece is about: it changes completely depending on which side you...

A horse rearing onto its hind legs, the whole weight of the bronze carried through two points of contact — the hardest thing to cast and the reason this piece is priced as it is. It stands on a bed of citrine and rock...

A small rectangular vase, 10.5 × 7.5 × 15.5 cm, its faces cut into large flat panels rather than fine facets — a quieter treatment that suits a single stem or a short arrangement. Sized for a bedside table or a bathroom counter. Made...

A square-sectioned vase, 31 cm tall on a 14.5 × 14.5 cm base, cut all over in raised pyramids that run to the rim. Heavy in the base, which matters — it will hold a tall arrangement without being pulled over. Also works empty,...

A pair of stepped crystal bookends, 25 × 11.5 × 20.5 cm, cut in clean rectangular planes with no ornament at all. Substantial enough for a full shelf of hardbacks, and clear enough that they disappear between the books rather than competing with them....

A pair of crystal bookends, each an L-shaped block with a cut lotus flower set at the front corner. The weight is in the base plate, which slides under the books and takes their load — the visible block is not what does the...

Albero della Vita — the tree of life — engraves branches and small leaves around the oval, an old Mediterranean motif for family, continuity, and roots. It is the frame given when the photograph inside is meant to stay in the family. 10 ×...

A silver teddy bear seated on a round pale blue base that holds the movement — 8.5 × 8.5 × 14 cm, small enough for a nursery shelf. Wound from underneath, and the bear turns slowly as it plays. Made in Italy and supplied...

A small crystal box, 8 × 8 × 11 cm, its body cut into broad angled facets that step inward toward a faceted lid. Clear throughout, so whatever is inside is part of the object. Made in Italy and supplied in its original Ottaviani...

A cylindrical crystal jar, 10 × 10 × 13.5 cm, with a smooth body and a heavily faceted domed lid topped by a ball finial. The plain wall is deliberate — it lets whatever is inside be seen, which is why this shape is...

A five-arm candelabrum measuring 35 × 35 cm, the arms set in a shallow curve around a turned crystal stem on a faceted foot. The proportion is designed for a table of six to eight — wide enough to matter, contained enough to leave...

A horse's head cast in bronze, rising behind a polished agate slice into which the clock movement is set. The agate is cut from a single natural nodule, so its banding is unrepeatable — the stone is the dial. Mounted on a stone base....

Peach blossom in gold leaf, sealed between crystal panels — the branch drawn across one corner and left to run out into open glass rather than filling the border. An eastern motif executed with Italian materials. 13 × 18 cm. Made in Italy and...

A carousel that turns as it plays, its canopy and horses finished in pink enamel and silver. Wound from beneath; the platform revolves while the movement runs. The traditional gift for a birth or a christening, and the one that is kept long after...

A square tray, 30 × 30 cm, edged on all four sides with rounded crystal beads over a mirrored base. Large enough to serve on and shallow enough to leave out — it usually ends up permanently on a console with a candle and...

The largest candelabrum in the range at 58 × 58 cm — nine cut-crystal cups on arms rising in two tiers from a heavy faceted base. This is a centrepiece for a long table on an occasion, not a permanent fixture, and it is...

Tulipani runs a band of tulips around the border in soft rose and green, drawn rather than embossed, so the flowers stay flat against the Miro Silver and never compete with the photograph. This is the large size, 18 × 24 cm — the...

The Il Sole oval in its gold finish — the same radiating border, warmed. Gold suits an older photograph, a sepia print, or a room already working in brass and amber tones. 13 × 18 cm. Made in Italy, and it arrives boxed by...

A photo frame from Ottaviani's Miro Silver line, its border carrying a dark grey python print over the brand's patented silver finish. The 9 × 13 cm aperture suits a portrait or a small family photograph, and the weighted easel back holds it steady...

The Caramella scallop in yellow and white — the warmest of the five colourways, and the easiest to place in a room that is not decorated for a child. 10 × 15 cm, enamel over Miro Silver. Produced in Italy and presented in its...

The Caramella scallop in plain white — the same softened silhouette with the colour taken out, leaving only the shape and the silver edge. The one to choose when the photograph should carry the colour. 10 × 15 cm. Produced in Italy and presented...

A lidded crystal box for sweets, 8.3 × 8 × 10 cm, cut clear and finished on every face — including the underside of the lid, which is why it can be set down beside the box without looking like a loose part. Sized...

The aquamarine stud frame at 20 × 25 cm — the largest crystal frame in the range, and heavy enough that it is placed once and left. Best where it can catch daylight: a hall console, a shelf near a window. Produced in Italy...
