Early 1900's Reuge Musical Jewelry Box with Inlaid Oriental Theme, #851
$390.00
Early 1900's Reuge musical jewelry box with inlaid oriental design on four sides and top cover. This box is from the Edwardian era ( 1901 - 1910 ), with mirror and locking key.
The condition of this box is very good for being over 100 years old. The top cover does have some slight checking in the finish probably from direct sunlight through the years. Likewise the mirror has some of the old mirror characteristics such as cloudy areas, some oxidation and dark spots near the edge and other wear signs.
The movement plays when wound up and cover is opened to the tune of Faust (Vaise).
Measurements are 8.125 inches square by 2.75 inches high.
Inside plush red velvet is very clean and neat looking.
Key locks the cover as it should.
