Cont European Brass/Bronze Enameled Music Box
Presented is a nice continental European brass or bronze music box. The hinged cover of the box has a traditional peasant genre scene on the cover depicting people drinking, dancing, and playing musical instruments. This scene is done in high relief. The genre scene is surrounded by beautiful green and white enamel all done champleve style. The sides of the box are decorated with classical 18th century panels and swags. The interior of the box is lined with wood. When the hinged cover is opened, the box plays a very pretty, cheerful tune. The box was probably made in Austria, certainly in the late 1800s or early 1900s. The condition is excellent. We cleaned the box up a little, but it could be cleaned up much more if you wish. We have left that up to the new owner. The music mechanism is working well. The enameling is intact. There are no dents, no dings, no chips, no cracks, no splits, no breaks, and no repairs. The box measures 3 1/2 inches by 4 5/8 inches and 2 1/8 inches tall. Weight: 1 lb 4 oz (567 grams). Powered by SixBit’s eCommerce Solution.
