This elegant 1980s lacquered Japanese jewelry box features a magnetic ballerina that activates automatically when one of the drawers is opened or closed.
The exterior showcases traditional Japanese landscape decorations typical of the period, with vivid colors and finely rendered details that give the piece a strong visual presence. The ballerina rotates thanks to the perfectly functioning music box, creating a delicate and nostalgic scenic effect.
The lacquer shows light signs of wear consistent with the age of the item, while part of the ballerina’s arm has been carefully reconstructed, maintaining a harmonious and faithful appearance to the original. Otherwise, the jewelry box is in excellent overall condition, with smoothly sliding drawers, well‑preserved decorations, and a responsive, reliable musical mechanism.
An ideal piece for collectors, lovers of vintage Japanese items, or anyone seeking a unique and charming decorative object.
Note: Measurements may vary depending on the point of measurement.
