The silver is adorned with lions and birds on the side, the top repousse lid with a winged cherub, and finely cut filigree silver hides the mechanism while the bird is singing. The corners of the top have well detailed flowers; minor wear and oxidation to case, nothing beyond what is expected for the age of the item. The bellows have been renewed a nd this bird sings with tremendous gusto, lively and loudly, his wings and beak twittering all the time. 4 x 2.5 x 1.8 inches Reserve $2600
