TAHAN, the finest ebonist in Paris. This is an exquisite example of their work. The inlay top consisting of intricate mother of pearl and chased ormalu is remarkable. The serpentine shape is really attractive. There is the age related normal wear to the ebony finish at the front of the box. The music box plays beautifully which has 3 tunes, the first is Mendelson’s Wedding March and two other tunes, a dance and a waltz. The interior is in white satin, not perfect but age related deterioration but very presentable. This maker rarely comes onto the market, this example is exceptional. Thank you very much for looking at my sale. I forgot the measurements 7 in wide, 3.5 high, 5in deep.
