Station box or show case box

44" wide x 19" deep x 78" high

Exceptionally and rare automaton cylinder musical box, a marvel of musical craftsmanship. Through the window, one can view a fluttering butterfly and four maidens twirling and dancing along on their “stage” to the music box’s tune. Highly sought-after by collectors. Circa 1890

In perfect working order, it possesses a crisp, melodious sound as it plays one of three accompanying cylinders, each with six tunes. Tune selector, Jacot parachute safety and speed regulator. An ornate inlaid burl walnut cabinet is the perfect complement, featuring two fitted drawers with the capacity to hold four cylinders.
