Symphonion Eroica Musical Hall Clock
Located in New Orleans, LA
This rare and enchanting Symphonion Eroica musical automaton is one of the most advanced music players of its era. Considered among the finest, and certainly the rarest, of the musical works created by Symphonion Musikwerke of Germany, the Eroica was offered in three models. This example is the most elite of these models and is one of the few surviving clock cases boasting the dramatic dome at its crown. Beautifully hand carved from walnut, the tall case showcases exquisite detail and craftsmanship throughout, making it just as desirable a timepiece as a music box. It is, however, the mechanism inside that makes this music maker truly spectacular. Behind the stunning front panel, the extraordinary music box plays an incredible 6-part harmony on three discs. These discs are placed in overlapping positions and are played simultaneously by two motors complete with two governors. First produced in 1886, Symphonion music boxes came in a wide variety of styles and sizes, and were extremely advanced technologically, being the first to apply sublime harmonie...
