Description from the seller
Musical Inlaid Sewing Table – Sorrento, 1950s – Working Music Box
Italian 1950s-60s sewing table with hand-inlaid top in Sorrentine style. Top opens to reveal internal compartments and original working music box.
Dimensions: 36.5 x 27 cm, H 43 cm
Materials: Walnut wood with multicolor inlays in maple, boxwood, rosewood. Scalloped, fluted legs.
In decent condition, the table is stable and functional, though it shows chips, scratches and wear from age. Slight mobility of the left rear leg under pressure due to an upper break clearly visible in the photo.
Music box functioning, key missing, the lock is not fixed.
A restoration is recommended to restore its original beauty.
Typical postwar Italian wedding gift. Height 43 cm, also ideal as a living room side table.
The defects are highlighted in the photos.
Please carefully view the photo gallery, which is an integral part of the description, to avoid misunderstandings.
Careful packing and tracked shipping.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
