EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Singing-bird box from the mid-19th century. Crafted by the Swiss School, this exquisite piece of art measures 9x3 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The Singing-bird box is an extraordinary example of masterful craftsmanship, combining enamel, diamonds, and gold to create a truly opulent design. The rectangular box features intricate engine-turned and engraved foliage decorations on its brass movement. Its cover is adorned with chased acanthus motifs and blue champleve enamel over an engine-turned ground with delicate scroll patterns. A slide at the front opens the hinged oval cover, revealing a stunning display of royal blue enamel set with sparkling rose-cut diamonds. Upon opening, a finely pierced and engraved grille is unveiled along with a colorful plumed bird that rotates on its axis. This mechanical marvel comes to life as it chirps melodiously, flaps its wings gracefully, wags its tail playfully, turns its head elegantly, and even opens its beak in song. This singing-bird box not only serves as an ornamental treasure but also functions as an enchanting toy-like automaton. It represents the epitome of objet de vertu - an object of great beauty and value created for sheer delight. Through this photograph captured by eChristies Images courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate the skillful artistry behind this mesmerizing creation that seamlessly blends music and mechanics into one harmonious masterpiece.
