Description from the seller
Elegant rectangular musical jewelry box, made of gilt brass with openwork lattice sides and small curved feet. The lid has a pearlescent finish and is topped with an oval porcelain medallion decorated with a romantic-inspired gallant scene.
The interior is lined with red velvet and houses an original mechanical musical movement marked “LADOR SWITZERLAND – L20,” made by the historic Swiss firm Lador of Sainte-Croix. The music box is in working order.
A decorative piece with a romantic aesthetic, combining the Swiss tradition of musical movements with the ornamentation of 20th-century tabletop jewelry boxes.

Origin: Swiss-made movement.
Materials: Gilt brass, pearlescent-finish lid, porcelain medallion, and red velvet.
Technique: Openwork metal structure, applied ornamental elements, decorated ceramic medallion, and wind-up mechanical musical movement.

Dimensions: 15.5 cm long × 10 cm wide.
