Vintage piano-shaped music box with magnetic ballerina, key-wound and fully working. This antique music box with its original magnetic ballerina is housed in an elegant black lacquered wooden case shaped like a piano, decorated with scenes depicting Japanese landscapes, architecture, and traditional figures. When opened, the magnetic ballerina dances on the mirror, accompanied by the fully functional wind-up musical mechanism.
The painted decorations and overall construction reflect Oriental production intended for the European market, highly appreciated during the mid-20th century, making this music box a striking decorative and collectible piece.
The music box shows signs of wear consistent with its age, visible on the wooden and metal parts as well as on the glass, along with some restoration work, clearly visible in the photographs. These elements do not affect functionality or charm, but rather attest to the object’s authenticity and history.
Ideal as an antique music box, a magnetic ballerina music box, a vintage Oriental music box, or as a refined decorative accessory for collectors and vintage enthusiasts.
