Description
The larger of the pair (measuring 12.5" long, 7" deep and 3.5" high) is an elegant footed wooden Music Box made in Sorrento Italy, with Finely Inlaid Marquetry, encompassing Foliage and Floral Decor.... Lined with Red Velvet.........The musical mechanism is an 18 note sankyo (Japanese). Currently it does not play(Torna a Surnento) but is surely easily fixed with a new key and proper lubrication. It is Truly in Very Good to Excellent Condition Aesthetically (Albeit with One Missing Foot in the Back Which has been Replaced with a Pad and Works to Level The Unit Without Issue, and a small spot stain on the right side of the tray, which almost surely will come out with proper care) A Musical Shop Could Have This Gorgeous Piece Functioning at Its absolute Best with not Much Effort at all. The smaller box (measuring 7.5" wide, 3" high and 7.5" deep) is an Elegant Footed Wooden Musical Box with Top Finely Inlaid with Foliage and Floral Decor. Upon opening, the Music Box Begins to Play "Fiddler On the Roof" to the Delight of Those Enjoying the Sounds. The Box is also Made in Sorrento Italy and the Musical Movement is Made in Switzerland. There are No Condition Issues to Report Other than there is No Key, and the Slightest of Sticker Residue on the Bottom.
Condition

Missing Locking/Winding Key on the larger box (but a replacement can be found in a musical repair store), this treasure will most likely play beautiful music once again.
