A fine and very rare magnificent vintage enamelled and gilt singing box with key. Made circa 1900
DIM: 10 x 6 x 4 cm
In very good condition with no dents and scratches
NOTE: The top centered with two young ladies, seated by a riverbank in ruched dresses, reading from a book, whilst being serenaded by a dashing young ministrel, playing a lute. The oval hinged lid, opening to the chirping bird automation. The little bird sings with full voice, animates flawlessly and the mechanism runs so smoothly.
