Description
Crafted in the Sorrento Inlaid Wood Works studio of G. Fruscio in the 1950s. The box plays "Torna a Surriento," also known as "Come Back to Sorrento," which is a classic Neapolitan song composed in 1902. It features a baby grand piano shape with a velvet-lined jewelry box inside and fine woods such as Burl Elm, Rosewood, Mahogany, and Walnut in its floral inlay design. It was purchased directly from the studio in the Bay of Naples in the 1950s and was kept in excellent condition by the owner. Perfect in any traditional decor setting.
