Music Box with Exposed Controls playing 6 tunes
About the Item
Beautiful, early and rare music box made in the early 19th century. This early music box plays 6 melodies on a 25,7cm cylinder. At the beginning of the 19th century, boxes of excellent musical quality were built. This box is an outstanding example. The controls are on the outside of the box as one would expect from a music box of this period. The serial number is 6881 and can be found on the base plate (top left) and at the bottom of the box. The box was manufactured around 1835.
The plain fruitwood case is timeless and fits in any interior. The whole thing, case and mechanism, was restored to its original grandeur (in our own workshop) and can guarantee another 100 years of pleasure.
