ERZGEBIRGE Christmas Music Box Wendt Kuhn Silent Night THORENS Wood Germany

  
For your consideration is this lovely vintage Music Box from Germany. It is an unique work of art, hand crafted from wood and hand painted.

It features a group of angels around a baby in its crib. One is playing an instrument and one is singing, 2 angels are praying.

Flying above them are 5 smaller angels. This beautifully detailed music box was made in the Erzgebirge region in the former East Germany by the famous company "Wendt & Kuhn".

When the music is playing, the pole with the smaller angels rotates. The musical movement is a swiss THORENS movement. The sound is bright and clear and it plays "Silent Night". To wind it up, just turn the key on the side clockwise. There is a working stopper on the side, too.

The music box is in great condition, but unfortunately not complete: one of the small angels is missing a wing and another an arm. One angel's hair curl is also missing. Other than that, it is in great shape. Please look at all pictures and zoom in. Dates to the 1980s and is marked with the red expertic/Erzgebirge label.

It measures 9" tall and 5" wide. Comes from a clean and smoke free home. Please ask, if you have any questions about this item!
