19th Century Swiss cylinder music box, plays 8 songs

$795.00

This 19th century Swiss cylinder music box, priced at $795, features a hand-crank mechanism patented in 1887 and plays eight songs, including works by Verdi, Bellini, Wagner, and Rossini. The original illustrated program remains inside the lid, adding both charm and provenance. Measuring 15.5″L x 7.5″W x 6″H, the piece is housed in a handsome wooden case with a glass dust cover protecting the mechanism.

The box shows gentle signs of age consistent with its history, but remains an elegant and fully functional example of Swiss craftsmanship. A wonderful choice for collectors of mechanical music or anyone who appreciates decorative 19th century antiques.
