Description from the seller
Grande portasigarette da tavolo con sportelli rotanti e decorazioni floreali dipinte a mano – XX secolo
(EN)
Large musical tabletop cigarette dispenser with rotating doors and hand-painted floral decorations – 20th century
Descrizione
Elegant and scenographic tabletop cigarette dispenser, made of gilded metal with refined multicolored, hand-painted floral decorations.
The object features a pavilion-like architectural structure with rotating doors, decorative columns, interior panels with mirrors, and a winged putto placed at the top. The base is adorned with ornamental molded feet.
Originally conceived as a musical cigarette dispenser, the opening mechanism is now operated exclusively manually. The carillon is not functioning and is therefore sold as a decorative and collectible item.
The floral decorations are still well preserved and give the whole a remarkable aesthetic impact. The interior features red decorative panels and coverings that create a pleasant scenic effect when the doors are opened.
Condizioni:
Good overall condition for its age.
Normal signs of wear and aging.
Minimal abrasions and small losses of gilding testify to its old provenance.
Carillon not functioning.
Door opening only manual.
Structure generally intact.
