Charming Vintage Lacquer & Mother of Pearl Jewellery Box
A beautifully crafted vintage lacquer vanity box dating to the late twentieth century, finished in deep black lacquer and delicately inlaid with luminous mother-of-pearl. The lid is decorated with an elegant scene of birds perched amongst flowering branches, each detail carefully engraved into the shell to reveal its natural iridescence. Inside, the box opens to reveal a rich crimson-lined velvet interior with a fitted mirror beneath the lid, creating a wonderfully theatrical contrast against the glossy black exterior. It offers generous storage for jewellery, treasured keepsakes or everyday dressing-table or writing-desk essentials.
