This music box with singing bird is rectangular in shape. It features polychrome enamel plates and a medallion with a barnyard scene with hens and a peacock in the foreground.
The mechanism is activated by a push-button. We have not found a signature on the mechanism, but one might think of Karl Griesbaum, founder of an automaton company.
Please note that we have not carried out any function tests, as the box is sold for overhaul. The whistling bird comes out, but the box is difficult to close.
As for condition, the box is difficult to close and open at the bird. The enamel is in perfect condition.
Karl Griesbaum founded his watchmaking company in 1905. From 1920 onwards, he specialized in songbird automata, becoming one of the 20th century's leading producers.
