Rosewood Cylinder Music Box having a lift top with elaborate inlaid floral and foliate marquetry, inlaid stringing on case and supported by ebonized feet. Plays 10 operatic selections. Marked on bottom of case "Made in Switzerland". No other marks on case. Numbers 7232 are on the cylinder. Comb is in tact. Hand crank works fine. Stop/Start slide and Change/Repeat slide. Stop will be following each song, not immediate and the slide sticks. Minor damage on the front veneer. This piece has been appraised 3 times. The first was done in the 1970's and was appraised at 2,250 and year was possibly 1840. The second was done in the same year and was told the value was much higher, but no specifics. I recently had this appraised online and was told it was 1875 Rosewood Music Box. The music is very clear and beautiful and would be a lovely addition to a collection. This came from a woman who died several years ago, so I have no more information than that.
