Product Details

This is a mid‑century metal music box featuring a classic courting‑couple scene on the lid. It measures a little over 7 inches long and close to 7 inches across, making it the larger format compared to the more common 5‑inch versions. Inside, it has a divided compartment and a Swiss Thorens wind‑up movement. The music box plays consistently and the mechanism engages smoothly. The metal exterior and interior show age‑appropriate wear, including light surface marks and finish variation from normal use over time. The lid opens and closes properly, and the interior divider is intact. Overall, it’s in stable vintage condition with the charm expected of a mid‑century piece .Made by Thorens (Switzerland), known for quality mechanical movements, and distributed in the U.S. by Silverite Co., Brooklyn, NY. The original distributor plate is still attached. Thorens music boxes are well‑regarded among collectors, and the larger 7×7 size is less common. The intact movement, original plate, and divided interior make this a desirable piece for anyone who collects vintage vanity boxes, mid‑century décor, or Thorens mechanical items. It is part of a set with the second one featuring a different couple and a cleaner inside.
