Vintage Locking Musical Lift Top Stand with secret compartment 19" tall

Add to Cart
This little "stand" has a beautifully detailed top and the original key. It's built of real wood. Top lifts to reveal a divided interior, the side sections have thin wooden covers to make them "secret" compartments. The right side conceals a musical apparatus, the key to wind it extends through the bottom. The lift-top is just over 17-1/2 inches wide by about 13-3/4, a bit under 1/2 inch thick. With the top up the "box" is just under 16-3/4 inches wide and 12-3/4 inches front to back, 1-3/4 inches deep. Legs are about 17-1/2 inches so total height is 19-1/2 inches. This has dainty Cabriole style legs. The full width hinge ensures secure lifting of the top. I can't tell if the top is inlaid or not, but the effect is lovely. The high gloss finish on the top has some serious cracks but the piece is sturdy with very little wear. The Grandparents of a friend brought this back from a trip overseas sometime between the 1940's and the '60's, PROBABLY from Japan or Italy. It was used as a jewelry box but I don't know if that was the original purpose.
