Exquisite Repousee Sterling (835) 2 Tune Music Box With Watch Mint Condition
This is an exquisite 835 silver repouuse 2 tune cylinder music box with a watch in the front. The detail is wonderful consisting of garlands multiple flowers and vases of flowers with an oval concaved glass for viewing the music box. The workmanship is over the top with very fine chasing throughout, I can only imagine the hours and weeks it took to create this item. It has beautiful decorated bun feet. The music is spectacular for a small box, loud and clear. I do not know the songs but they are very pleasant and complicated. There are 2 levers on the back of the box, when looking at the back of the box the lever on the left starts the music, the lever on the right changes the tune. NOTE, you may only change the tune after the previous song has stopped, changing it before will cause damper, pin and possibly comb damage. There is a final treble tooth missing. The watch runs perfectly, perfect face and filigreed hands. It is wound by the knob on the bottom, and to change the time you open the bezel and depress the release button. The box is marked with a Hallmark and other marks and a number 1 on the bottom. Possibly the only one made. This would have been a very expensive luxury item so the idea of making several of them probably would have been cost prohibitive. The overall weight is 1lb 10 oz. The measurements are 6 inches long 4 inches deep and 2 1/4 high. Thank you for taking the time to look at this exceptional item, I doubt that there will ever be another one available.
