The very finest antique music boxes are here – look no further. From the Cadenza collection of exceptional music boxes, this is. See the Video below. Now is your chance to own this antique music box by Baker Troll, one of the finest makers of Swiss music boxes at the end of the nineteenth century, around 1890. External dimensions 25 x 12 x 12 inches 64 x 30.5 X 30.5 cms. Some regard music boxes by this maker to be of the same quality to those by other makers such as Nicole Freres, Lecoultre and Paillard. The musical movement starts and plays the six popular airs in a sparkling manner in a’Sublime Harmonie’ arrangement. The comb tuning has an augmented bass which gives an unusually pleasing and rich sound. Tunes are expressive and harp like in a very pleasing and mellow way. Both pinned cylinder and musical steel comb are in perfect order with no repairs past or present. The comb is perfectly in tune as can be seen below. Complete with original playlist, the programme has classical and popular tunes including the’Euryanthe’ Overture by Weber. The polished and nickel plated movement is housed in a very solid case with a moulded and ebonized base, superbly veneered on all sides to the front and cushion form lid with ebony banding. Gilt brass handles to the sides. The thuya veneered exterior is in a delicious and beautiful patina, with maroon interior. The whole has been traditionally polished to perfection with a mirror finish. All restored to the highest standards as one can see and hear in the video. Ideal as a decorative object for a collector, or as a conversation piece. Antique Music Box Baker Troll’Octavo’ 6 air’Sublime Harmonie’ FOR SALE – YouTube. Antique Music Box: A Unique Gift.
