Description :

A charming trio featuring two round Chinese sewing baskets woven from natural rattan, each adorned with colorful bead rings and traditional coin accents, and a vintage Thorens chalet-style music box crafted in wood with hand-painted floral details. The warm brown baskets display pink, blue and yellow bead embellishments that complement rustic coin charms, while the music box boasts a pitched roof, chimney, “Boppard Rhein” plaque, a wind-up mechanism and a red-felt lined pull-out drawer. These pieces blend functional storage with decorative artistry, highlighting both Eastern craft traditions and Swiss-inspired mechanical charm. Each item shows gentle wear consistent with age, adding to their authentic vintage character.
