LARGE ORCHESTRAL MUSICAL BOX ON STAND SWITZERLAND, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY
LARGE ORCHESTRAL MUSICAL BOX ON STAND SWITZERLAND, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY
A rare Swiss orchestral musical box of representative class, mounted on its original stand. The case with sloping sides is crafted from rosewood and kingwood, richly adorned with refined geometric and ornamental marquetry, and fitted with gilt-bronze side handles. The architectural composition is emphasized by a moulded plinth and turned legs, giving the object the presence of a distinguished piece of salon furniture of high artistic quality.The interior houses a complex keyless spring-driven mechanism with a brass cylinder and a steel comb, enhanced by orchestral effects including bells, drum, castanets and organ pipes. Such a configuration places this example among the highest category of so-called orchestral music boxes, designed to perform extended musical programmes with the effect of a small ensemble. The inner side of the lid retains the original tune card listing the musical repertoire, preserved since manufacture, which significantly enhances the authenticity and completeness of the piece.Material: Rosewood, kingwood, brass, steel, gilt bronze.Dimensions: Height 86 cm; Width 93 cm.Condition: In excellent condition. Fully professionally serviced mechanism and case, with preservation of original elements and settings.Provenance: Private collection.
