AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A superb collectible music box titled “Nightingale,” published by the prestigious House of Fabergé.
Inspired by the nightingale, a symbol of poetry and song, this refined piece combines richly decorated fine porcelain, enameled details, and a 24-carat gold-plated metal mount. Its hand-painted decor features a delicate nightingale perched on a cherry blossom branch, set against a blue and orange cloisonné-inspired background.
The domed lid, inspired by an imperial crown, is ornate with scalloped motifs in green tones and topped with a pink decorative stone. The gilded finishes elegantly emphasise the contours and reinforce the piece’s precious character.
The box opens to reveal an interior compartment lined with black velvet, ideal for holding jewelry or small precious objects. It is equipped with a hand-wound music mechanism.
