Reuge Swiss Music Box and Italian Porcelain Holder 10 Tall in Perfect Condition

Italian marble style, music made in Switzerland. A green-blue marble holder for whatever you would like to place inside. It could be cigarettes or lipstick or anything else.

Or just display this beautiful artwork. The lovely case's finial, an acorn, turns to display the four interior compartments. Each compartment has a portrait of a lovely lady on the brass portion. When it's closed, you see the marbled exterior --- with hand-painted flowers on each panel, across the top and even on the base.

Continue the turn, and the compartments magically open to view. There are double-stacked Doric columns between each panel, whether open or closed. And the base is supported by elaborate floral and shell motif feet. Turn the "key" on the bottom and listen to the Swiss-made music of Music Box Dancer.

It's a famous and also beautiful melody - Music Box Dancer. A lively tune that makes you feel like a kid dancing again.

It was established in 1865. This music box is 10" tall and 5" wide at the base. The first photo shows this item in the left corner is the "Royalty Room" diorama. I have paired the music box with a brass chest and a little brass clock. The brass box is for sale in another of my listings.
