The underside retains several openings associated with the original operating or winding mechanism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAffixed beneath the lid is an original lithographed tune sheet headed “2 Airs,” bearing handwritten German titles. One appears to reference a waltz associated with Strauss, while the second begins “Wir winden dir den Jungfernkranz,” the bridal chorus from Carl Maria von Weber’s opera Der Freischütz. The handwriting is difficult to decipher fully, so the titles should not be presented as definitive without additional research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original musical movement, cylinder, comb, and internal bedplate are no longer present. The surviving piece is therefore best offered as an antique music-box case, decorative keepsake box, or restoration project rather than as a functioning musical instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"For the Louvre of Antiques LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49030918275327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/8780\/4927\/files\/7A3E83CA-8064-4131-9D06-34012411792D.png?v=1786984026","url":"https:\/\/forthelouvreofantiques.com\/es\/products\/antique-continental-two-air-cylinder-music-box-case-with-rosewood-veneer-and-original-tune-sheet","provider":"For the Louvre of Antiques LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
