Four-Load Production Box

$195.00

Four-Load Production Box. Likely European, mid-20th century.

Uncommon metal production box in gilt finish with Japanese-inspired decoration, raised on ball feet. Spring-loaded interior mechanism allows up to four successive productions of silks, spring flowers, or similar lightweight loads, with the box shown empty between each reveal. Hinged top lid and black-painted interior.

A practical and visually appealing utility prop, well suited to parlor or stage performance. Scattered surface wear, scratches, and finish loss consistent with age and use, but presents well overall. A scarce example of a lesser-seen multi-load production design.
