Handcrafted ceramic cigarette box in authentic Capodimonte style, enriched with raised scenes featuring cherubs and polychrome landscapes, framed by a metal mounting. The piece includes a functioning Swiss Reuge music box, which adds significant collectible value and strong appeal for enthusiasts of mechanical music and decorative art objects.
The ceramic shows a restoration on the lower part, where the section has been re-glued and reinforced, as visible in the photos. One of the side doors has been carefully reconstructed with attention to aesthetic coherence, while one of the feet has been reattached and strengthened to ensure stability. The button, originally missing, has also been meticulously rebuilt to restore full functionality of the mechanism. The metal frame displays signs of wear consistent with age, contributing to the vintage charm of the piece without affecting its usability.
This cigarette box is ideal for collectors of Capodimonte-style items, lovers of Reuge music boxes, and enthusiasts of decorative antiques. The combination of sculpted and painted ceramic, worked metal structure, and Swiss musical movement makes it a unique piece, perfect as a decorative element or as a refined gift.
