*SOLD* This gorgeous little box is a combination jewelry box and music box. It has Swiss movement by Cuendet that plays Lara's Theme from Dr. Zhivago (so I assume it is from the mid-1960's, since that movie came out in 1965), and it has a pin that makes the music start playing when the right side of the lid is opened, and stop when it closes. The music box works perfectly!
The box itself is about 7 x 4 inches, and has two Hummel images on the lids. There is a little boy on the right and a little girl on the left, and they are both sitting on fences - there are black birds (crows? ravens?) in both images. The inside of the box has two compartments that are lined in red velvet. The right side is shallower because of the music box underneath it. This box has a lovely rounded shape and sweet pointed feet. It is in great vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, or other damage that I can see. The wood is beautiful and glossy, with only a few tiny scratches and scuffs. The velvet is a little worn inside, but not damaged. Amazing condition for its age! This is a gorgeous heirloom quality jewelry and music box!
