German Symphonion Double Comb Disc Music Box in Burl Walnut

Beautifully figured burl walnut and elaborate decorative details distinguish this German Symphonion disc music box. Its double-comb Sublime Harmony movement plays 11-7/8″discs, bringing automated music to an equally enchanting setting.

The richly patterned case features carved corner pillars, molded edges, and rounded feet. Embossed artwork depicting birds among flowering branches adorns the lid, complemented by an ornate brass ring pull. Raised, the lid reveals the original reverse-painted glass picture of cherubs making music, framed in black and gold above a protective glass movement cover.

Combining the pleasures of mechanical music with the warmth and ornament of fine antique woodwork, this Symphonion makes a handsome addition to a collection or home. It has been restored and carries a one-year warranty.
