About the Item

Banjo. Art Deco era musical instrument to be restored in inlaid wood. Signed on the handle Achille Jacomoni, the signature is made with the pyrographed technique. Materials: Wood, metal, parchment. A bird that has exotic and fairy-like features. The inlay is made on the background of exotic wood, probably rosewood, with various woods of different colors. On the edge of the inlay you can see a writing, perhaps a further signature of the cabinetmaker (?) The instrument is sold as a beautiful decorative object, we have not verified the functioning of the instrument, even if it appears to have a good sound, characteristic of the banjo.
