Musical jewellery box - Japan - 1950-1960 - Sankyo, Elegant Carillon

Fascinating Japanese Sankyo vintage jewelry box with a classic, timeless design. An item that combines the functionality of a jewelry case with the magic of a music box. Details of the piece: Exterior: The box presents a refined black lacquer finish, embellished with delicate gold floral motifs painted at the corners. The front is enriched by a metal-shaped and decorative lock mouth (key not present). The box rests on four elegant feet. Interior: By lifting the lid, a lively and romantic interior revealed in deep red velvet, divided into three practical compartments. The Magic of the Music Box: At the center of the main compartment stands a lovely miniature ballerina. The back of the lid is lined with a series of curved vertical mirrors that create a beautiful optical effect, multiplying the image of the dancing ballerina. The winding mechanism is activated by the special key located on the bottom of the box. Dimensions (approx): Width: 18 cm Height: 11 cm Depth: 12 cm The item presents in fair/good overall aesthetic condition, but shows natural signs of age and use. The winding mechanism works and the ballerina spins. The box key is not present. The item is therefore sold on a "seen and liked" basis in the condition in which it is, ideal for collectors.
