Product description
Description:
Exceptional mechanical music box from the early post-war period, made in Germany with an original Thorens movement, from a renowned Swiss manufacturer of precision mechanics.
The box features a circle of eight hand-painted angel figures playing various instruments. The octagonal wooden case is finished in a deep blue and decorated with gold star motifs – a very characteristic design of the 1950s.
The underside is marked:
“THORENS Movement – Silent Night – Made in Germany – Western Zone”
This clearly dates the piece to approximately 1950–1960.
The movement runs and plays the melody clearly and evenly.
Condition:
Good, authentic vintage condition with age-related patina, minor paint loss, and slight signs of wear that enhance the charm of the original.
Please view all photos; they are part of the description. The item will be very carefully packaged and shipped with tracking and insurance. I prefer DHL.
Dimensions (approx.):
Height: 22–23 cm
Diameter: 15–16 cm
