Antique 6 Bell Music Box with Enamel Bee Strikers by Karrer, c. 1875

About the Item

A lovely quality antique music box made by Karrer of Geneva, Switzerland in c. 1875. The fully serviced musical movement features a highly attractive arrangement of 6 individually engraved bells struck by colourful enamel bee strikers. It plays a selection of 8 well-known tunes including ‘Home Sweet Home’, ‘Fledermaus Polka’ and ‘Silver Threads Among the Gold’ as listed on the original tunesheet. The sound is magnificent. This is housed within a particularly nice case veneered in rosewood and burr walnut, with tulipwood and floral inlays to both the lid and sides. Please note that video here has the sound automatically removed. If you would like to see the video with sound (which makes sense for a music box...) please message us and we can see you a link to view on Youtube.
