Swiss 16″ Cylinder Music Box by Paillard

This music box is an exciting example of mechanical ingenuity. Paillard was as a highly extensive music box maker, and an important contributor to the music box industry.  This music box plays 12 unique tunes. Monkey and mandarin figures play 6 bells, moving their heads and arms as though actually playing. The music box resides in a elegant case, veneered with a complex four-way book matched burl walnut and rosewood banding. All this culminates in a charming and interactive experience for the senses.
