Music box - France - 1950-1960

Singing Bird Box – probably French or Swiss, mid-20th century

Charming singing bird box, probably of French origin, dating from the mid-20th century. The case is richly decorated and gilt, offering an elegant and decorative appearance.

When opened, the bird emerges and sings a melody as intended, demonstrating that the sound mechanism functions correctly. The bird’s movements are a bid poor and would benefit from inspection or adjustment, which is not uncommon for these mechanical objects.

An attractive and collectible piece, appreciated for its decorative quality and mechanical charm, ideal for collectors of singing bird boxes and mechanical curiosities.
