A charming and fantastic sounding antique cylinder music box made by L’Epee in France in c. 1870.

The musical movement features seven saucer bells and plays a selection of 6 tunes as detailed on the original tunesheet mounted to the inside of the lid.

The sound is particularly good, with a wonderful arrangement of the tunes and a bright, clear quality to the music.

It is housed within a case with a delicate rosewood inlay to the lid.

The movement was serviced approximately 20 years ago, while the case has been recently restored.

A characterful and utterly charming music box.
