Seller's estimate : |
EUR20000 / EUR50000 |
Description:
Fantastic and unique Swiss music box with 24 interchangeable cylinders. In all our 40 years of involvement in mechanical musical instruments we never had or seen a music box with that many cylinders. This music box by Samuel Troll & Fils, Geneva, from around 1875 was definitely made for Royalty. It was sold for a huge fortune at the time and it can be bought for a small fortune now. 144 tunes playing wonderful music on a single comb movement. Not available in auction hall, item will be shipped from Switzerland. Please contact us for viewing in Switzerland. Size: 107 x 95 x 47 cm. Condition: Excellent.
