Arthur Court Lucite w Copper




Arthur Court Lucite w Copper
From mine to modern…
This Arthur Court piece is a vintage Lucite cylinder holding a chunk of raw copper ore. The effect is fantastic. Warm metal tones with a touch of patina paired with the glassy lucite. The combo creates a stunning play of light and opacity. Speaking of light. We love how it looks with light underneath!

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
