Dimensions: 15.5 x 7 x 4 cm. Weight: 650 g approx.
made of gilded metal and lapis lazuli in the shape of a parallelepiped, decorated with scrolls and small leaves, equipped with a side button that when pressed activates the music box: in the central part of the upper face of the lapis lazuli is a gilded metal oval from which a small dancing feathered bird emerges, accompanied by a sound.
The mechanism works with a bellows and piston whistle that imitate birdsong. Article number: AXT.92.6962.000 - 1449.
With orignal case, outer case and instruction booklet.
The technique was acquired by Reuge from the Bontems company in Paris and the German company Eschle in the 1960s.
