Description from the seller
Exceptional vintage music box with a cigarette dispenser, made in Japan in the 1960s and today admired for its rare and fanciful design. This fascinating mechanical object features a finely detailed floral theme on its doors, with a structure enriched by several precious materials, including elements in gold-plated metal.
On the top, there is a finely shaped metal figure, which gives the piece a whimsical and elegant air. By pulling the side lever, the doors open and music begins, all via a fully manual mechanism. The interior reveals the cigarette compartment, designed with the remarkable craftsmanship typical of mid-century Japanese automata.
The piece is in perfect working order and in excellent condition, making it a highly sought-after collectible for lovers of music boxes, mechanical curiosities, or vintage tobacco-related objects.
