AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant wooden jewelry box, authentic handcrafted workmanship from Sorrento, dating from about the mid-20th century. A classic of Italian cabinetmaking, characterized by refined marquetry (inlay work).
The box features on the front a decoration that imitates a row of numbered books with Roman numerals and the calligraphic inscription "Remembrance". The lid is adorned with a delicate inlay depicting three swallows in flight, a symbol of good luck.
Details: High-quality artisanal craftsmanship with geometric decorations along the edges.
Condition: Aesthetically very well preserved; the wood is glossy and the inlays are intact.
Important note: The box is not equipped with a key (the lock is present but the original key has been lost over time). It is sold as a decorative item or for collection.
Dimensions: Length 20 cm × Depth 10 cm × Height 9 cm.
Perfect for collectors of vintage knick-knacks or as a decorative element for desks and bookshelves.
