View item video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/L6TaZyywv3o From the artisan hillsides of southern Italy comes a creation where craftsmanship meets melody. This vintage Sorrento inlaid wood box, made by A. Gargiulo & Jannuzzi of Piazza Tasso, Sorrento, Italy, represents one of the most distinguished traditions in Italian woodworking — the art of marquetry. Measuring approximately 6.5 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 2.75 inches tall, this elegant box features a lustrous high-gloss finish with intricate floral and scroll inlays crafted from multiple species of wood veneer, layered to create a warm, three-dimensional effect. Inside, the label marked Art. 24336 confirms its origin from Sorrento’s historic workshop — a name synonymous with quality since the late 19th century. These boxes were often fitted with Swiss or Japanese musical movements by makers such as Reuge or Sankyo, designed to serenade the owner as the lid opens. Even when unaccompanied by sound, the craftsmanship sings through its finish, its symmetry, and its artistry. This heirloom-quality piece captures centuries of Italian tradition — a tangible expression of patience, beauty, and human touch. A stunning addition to any vintage decor, or the perfect gift for someone who cherishes artistry as much as history itself. Discovered by Treasures of Bako — have we got a gem for you.
