SEE MORE ITEMS HERE. BIRD IS COMPLETE (BEAK AND WINGS), BUT BEAK AND WING DOES NOT MOVE (HOWEVER WHEN I TESTED IT I SAW HOW IT OPENED BEAK AND WINGS AT THE SAME TIME ONCE, SO MECHANICAL PARTS OF BEAK AND WINGS ARE HERE). THE BIRD SOMETIMES STANDS UP AND MOVE SIDE TO SIDE, BUT IT DOES NOT KEEP IN THE RIGHT POSITION. MOVEMENT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY COMPLETE: A SMALL PART OF BELLOWS IS MISSING AND A SIMPLE WHEEL WITH NO TOOTH TO MOVE BELLOWS IS MISSING. THESE ISSUES CAN BE RESOLVER FOR AN WATCHMAKER OR AN EXPERT. HAVING SAID THAT, IT HAS ALL IMPORTANT PARTS AND CAN BE RESOTRED AND REPAIRED. THE ORIGINAL STERLING SILVER CASE IS COMPLETE (ONLY SOME SREWS TO KEEP COVER ARE MISSING) AND IT HAS THE ORIGINAL KEY. PLEASE SEE DETAILED PICTURES. This is one of the rarest singing bird music box i have seen. This singing bird box has a really impressive sterling silver case with a secret box. This sterling silver case is profusely decorated with finely carved birds, musical instruments, leaves, grapes and flowers, and it has the shape of an allegorical and stylized table with four figural caryatids, most probably child or satyrs. And caryatid or leg has woman figures on top. A really fabulous, exquisite and fantastic singing bird musck box made in France during XIX century. This is a project that needs an investment of 800 to 1000 USD to be perfectly restored. A really museum automaton singing bird box. Wide is 11.5 centimeters. Depth is 8 centimeters.
