Musical Snuff Box Playing 2 Tunes depicting a Bouquet of Flowers to the lid
About the Item
Snuffbox with music made in Switzerland in the first half of the 19th century.
This rare snuffbox plays 2 melodies, on a sectional comb. The comb is thus composed of several sections of 4 teeth each. this is typical of early boxes. It is only later, after 1840, that one can make a comb in 1 piece.
The case consists of pressed horn (please consult CITES regulations before buying). On top, in the middle of the lid, there is an bouquet of flowers. At the front the controls are decorated with brass.
Because of the general condition of this piece, it can be called very exceptional, all damage and traces of use indicating a past with great care and dedication.
