Antique 19th Century Victorian Marque De Fabrique 8-Song ebony and mahogany wood Swiss Music Box W/beautiful maple, ash and cherry inlay. In exceptional condition with one exception as shown in photo. In full working order; video available upon request. Tunes are listed on original hand-painted Programme Fully restored within the last decade. Has been owned by only one family In its history and lovingly maintained, passed down from daughter to daughter. Made after 1860 to 1865 because the crank is attached to the mainspring. Prior to the 1860s, music boxes used large winding keys that were inserted onto a shaft protruding from the mainspring – the attached crank was an engineering improvement adopted during the 1860s. This makes most sense as I believe it to have been a wedding present to my great great grandparents, who would have been married in the mid to late 1870s. 25 x 9 deep x 7 tall.
