Antique singing bird box hand crafted byC.H. Marguerat (Geneva Switzerland),circa 1925
Beautiful, highly colorful bird with extremely vivid, iridescent hummingbird feathers. The bird is feathered with a combination of various blue hues, light greens and reds.
I fully serviced (cleaned, adjusted, lubricated)the mechanical movement so this singing bird box operates perfectly. Buyers should be cautious when purchasing an antique singing bird box - always insist on seeing a photo of the mechanical movement for anysinging bird box described as \"antique\". Over 75% of the \"antique\" singing bird boxes for sale on & other other venues (especially Karl Griesbaum examples) are not antique and have a brand new movement or bird installed in place of the original. This significantly impacts both current value and future value appreciation.
A beautiful example of an antique Swiss singing bird box priced less than brand new modern reproductions. The brass case is adorned with a romantic courting scene, cherubs, musical instruments and floral swags.
The bird animates perfectly as follows: wings flap up/down, beak opens/closes, tail flutters up/down, bird turns left/right all the while singing to a beautiful oscillating bird song that is synchronized to the bird animation.
This bird box comes with a bird shaped winding key.
