Unused Damascene / Chokin Musical Compact Mirror With 24 Karat Gold Decorations 1950s
A super unused Japanese mid-century musical powder box. This high quality musical compact mirror is presented with the original box, puff and sifter. The tune (Fur Elise) plays very well. The lid is adorned with a 24 karat gold and sterling silver Damascene landscape and so this would be an ideal golden or silver wedding anniversary gift for her.
Damascene is considered a symbol of good fortune.
The decorations are finely crafted oriental scenes which depict the Ichinomiya, or supreme Shinto shrine of Suruga Province. Mount Fuji can be seen in the background.
All clasps and hinges work perfectly. The brass was coated at the point of manufacture with a layer of transparent enamel so this item will retain its beauty and never require cleaning. The inner lid of the compact is signed BSB. The bevelled mirror gives a good and accurate reflection. The base of this adorable music box is decorated with a golden textured finish. Immaculate pouch included. Measures 9 cm x 5.7 cm. Weighs 150 grams.
