This very special piece dates from the 19th century and it has a little surprise. Not only is it a beautiful perfume case, housing two gilt edge glass perfume bottles, but it is also a music box!

A red satin interior appears to be a 20th century restoration, but it has been done beautifully, with a gold cord trim.

The lovely glass bottles nestle snugly inside this fabulous walnut burl veneer box, and you can still detect a bit of the old perfume fragrance when you open them. The top of the box features a beautiful inlaid design.

A brass winding mechanism can be found on the bottom of the box, along with four brass feet.

A truly magical piece that would make a wonderful gift.

+++ Measurements +++

5 3/4" x 4" x 3 1/4"

+++ Condition +++

Lovely condition with some minor surface wear, faint scratches, and a few cracks and chips in the veneer. The lining does appear to have been replaced/totally restored.

I am uncertain if the key is original but the locking mechanism does not appear to function.

The music box functions wonderfully.

The bottles are in good condition and there is a remnant of perfume fragrance still inside.
