This refined Japanese lacquered jewelry box is a charming vintage piece, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of traditional Japanese objects. The black lacquer surface features a classic golden decoration. The music box is fully functional and, when the lid is opened, a rare dancing geisha figurine comes to life — a highly sought‑after detail in the vintage music box market, as it is far less common than Western-style ballerinas.
The interior is lined with pink velvet and divided into compartments designed to hold rings, necklaces, and small jewels, making this jewelry box not only decorative but also practical. The internal mirror adds an elegant, theatrical touch, enhancing the movement of the geisha as the melody plays.
There are signs of wear on the lacquer and on the glass, consistent with the age of the item. The golden decorations show abrasions and small restorations in several areas, which testify to the history of the piece and enhance its authentic, lived-in character without compromising its aesthetic value.
Note: measurements are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the point of measurement.
