Box - Wood, Important early 1900s Sorrento box of large size with three compartments entirely.

Important Sorrento box with a non-functioning music box and the original key.
Italian production from the early 1900s that revives the style of the early 1800s, widespread in Southern Italy, featuring the creation of refined antique furniture and objects known as 'mobili smith,' noted for their fine woods and inlays.
The large box measures 15 cm wide, 26 cm long, and 11 cm high, and is a lace of inlays with the lower part slightly domed.
It is characterized by the use of light and dark walnut-colored wood and honey-colored wood, and it is a set of hieroglyphs. On the upper part, there are depictions of birds with flowers, and on the three sides, the same inlays and birds are repeated. To give it more prominence and emphasize its importance, it has four feet.
I would say it's a carefully crafted box from every point of view—a lace of inlay work, a testament to the skill of artisans from the past.
Inside, there is a rectangular mirror along which a dark red tortoiseshell thread runs. The interior is special because when opened, there are two rectangles measuring 11 cm by 10 cm covered in Bordeaux that serve as a glove compartment, and beneath them, two more rectangles of the same size for storing jewelry. Hidden away are two additional rectangular compartments for jewelry. In total, there are four.
This type of craftsmanship attributes its value and sets it apart from the usual boxes seen on the market. The interior is lined with dark red velvet and shows signs of age.

It was part of the furnishings of my ancestors' palace, which I inherited, and I found it along with all the boxes, many of which I am selling due to their large number. My ancestors placed great importance on the home, considering it a calling card, and they always had high-quality objects made that were expressions of beauty.
