Description: RARE FRENCH SWISS FILIGREE PORCELAIN FLOWERS ELFINWARE ORMOLU GILT BRASS MUSIC POWDER BOX MIRROR ANTIQUE THIS BEAUTIFUL MUSIC / POWDER BOX MEASURES APPROX. 4 3/4" HIGH AND 3 1/2" ACROSS. IT IS ONE OF THE NICEST, AND WELL KEPT, VERSIONS OF THIS TYPE THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS.A BIT OF SCENTED POWDER STILL REMAINS IN THE BOX, FROM WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT, OVER 30 YEARS AGO. THE TOP IS COVERED WITH TINY, HAND APPLIED PORCELAIN FLOWERS, TYPICALLY REFERRED TO AS ELFINWARE. THE FOOTED BOX IS GILT BRASS FILIGREE, PATINATED IN A WARM ANTIQUE GOLD.THE HINGE AND S-CURVE CLASP ARE SECURE.THE INTERIOR HOLDS A PORCELAIN BOX FOR POWDER AND A BEVELED MIRROR IS MOUNTED UNDER THE LID.A KEY WOUND MUSIC BOX IS INSIDE THE POWDER BOX.THE MUSIC BOX PLAYS WELL, (I DO NOT KNOW THE TUNE), BUT THE KEY IS A BIT TIGHT TO TURN. (I WOULD RECOMMEND HAVING A JEWELER OPEN THE BOTTOM TO OIL & CLEAN THE INTERIOR OF THE MUSIC BOX, TO KEEP IT WORKING WELL.) THE MUSIC BOX IS LIKELY MADE BY THORENS OR RUEGE, ESTIMATE CIRCA 1890-1910's. THIS PIECE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. * I ACCEPT PAYPAL ONLY.* I DO NOT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY AT THIS TIME.* THIS WILL SHIP USPS PRIORITY MAIL, INSURED.* SIGNATURE REQUIRED ON DELIVERY. 1) ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD 'AS IS' AND SALE IS FINAL. 2) REFUNDS ARE ONLY CONSIDERED IN THE EVENT THAT AN ITEM HAS BEEN GROSSLY MISREPRESENTED. 3) PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE, AND REVIEW THE PHOTOS FOR DESCRIPTION.
