AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This special vintage toiletry trunk is finished in high-gloss lacquer and fully hand-painted with a warm savannah scene at sunset. The deep tones of red, orange, and black form a beautiful contrast, with silhouettes of trees, animals, and figures evoking a atmospheric African landscape. The lid opens with a sturdy hinge and reveals a built-in mirror, surrounded by multiple original accessories, all decorated in the same style.
The set includes, among other things, a hand mirror, a rectangular storage box, and several grooming items, each provided with the same artistic lacquerwork. This makes the whole not only functional but above all a decorative collectible with a strong visual identity.
The item is in neat vintage condition with light signs of use appropriate for its age. The painting and lacquer layer have been well preserved, so the colors remain bold and vivid.
Carefully packed for shipment.
