Description
Distinctive vintage jewelry box made by China’s San You, crafted from wood with a red lacquered finish and Oriental-inspired decorations.
The miniature cabinet is modeled on a traditional Chinese cupboard, with three drawers, two compartments with doors, and small gold-tone metal details.
The front panels are embellished with refined decorative compositions depicting pagodas, trees, and Oriental landscapes, made from thin ivory-colored applied elements against a black background.
The interior is lined with red fabric featuring floral motifs.
A particularly interesting feature is the integrated musical movement, which is working and is activated by opening the long side door. It plays an extended melody that has not yet been identified.
An original vintage decorative accessory, ideal as a small collectible jewelry box or an Oriental-style furnishing accent.
