Circa 1950s, this incredible French cabinet was designed by Fred Zimbalist, a cousin of Ephrem Zimbalist, Sr. (the famed concert violinist).
Silver pieces such as this one were all Hand tooled in India and no two were exactly the same.
Brass with silver nickel plating, features lovely floral, ornate tooling, graceful cabriole legs and a glass window to view the vintage Thoren's musical movement when you lift its lid.
It measures 7 inches x 4.25 inches and stands just short of 5 inches high, It boasts a charmingly graceful cabinet and plays a "Minueto" by Boccherini, and the "Minuet" from "Don Juan" by Mozart. Haven't been able to identify the first two melodies at the beginning of the cylinder's revolution as yet ...but, this is a "keeper" and will be an interesting piece wherever it is placed and/or an amazing stand out addition to a collection.
