This is a beautiful vintage inlaid musical jewellery box with a fabulous fully refurbished interior.

The Exterior

This box is made of solid wood and has a beautiful veneered finish. The lid has a decorative symmetrical feature, consisting of several inlaid circles of varying shapes, sizes and timbers. The lid and the base have beautiful flowing curves.

The box is complete with its original feet and piano hinge.

The exterior wood has a glossy, polished and varnished finish.

The Interior

The interior has three compartments, all newly refurbished by ourselves. The bases of each compartment have new padded deep violet velvet panels and the walls have beautiful quality purple paper linings. The padding provides cushioned protection for jewellery.

The musical movement is concealed beneath the centre compartment. The velvet panel in this compartment is removable, allowing access to the movement should it ever require attention. Please see the notes below on how to access the movement.

The inside of the lid has its original fitted mirror which is secured by a lovely wooden frame.

How To Access The Musical Movement

  • Remove the top left wall of the centre compartment.
  • Take out the removable padded velvet panel.
  • Slide out the wooden ledge covering the movement.

Full instructions on how to access the movement will be sent with the box.

The Musical Movement

The movement plays a pretty tune, the title of which we haven't deciphered. You can listen to it playing on our Facebook video by clicking on the link below. Alternatively, please contact us and we will send you the video via email or whatsapp.

The winding key is located on the bottom of the box.

Operating The Movement

Five turns of the key are sufficient to wind up the musical movement. The music stops as it should, when the lid is closed or when the movement has fully unwound.

Notes On Vintage Musical Movements

As with all musical boxes, care should be taken not to overwind the movement. Over winding will result in the movement malfunctioning.

Vintage movements are already old and so will naturally have some wear from age and use. They may occasionally deteriorate or malfunction over time.

We are not responsible for movements that may deteriorate/malfunction from further age and use once a box is purchased. Neither are we responsible for movements that malfunction from overwinding.

Please check the movement as soon as you receive your box. They will be checked again prior to posting.

Please read our returns policy which includes our policy on musical movements and locks.
