Vintage Music Box, Italian Inlay Wood buying Floral Design, Made in Italy, Wind up to play The Emperor's Waltz, Footed, Formal Pristine Gift Italy

First 4 photos
Beautiful Vintage wooden jewelry/music box from JunqueGypsy.Etsy.com. has inlaid wood marquetry creating a poppy and rose floral design on the lid and plays the song "The Emperor's Waltz" when lid is opened.

Although this design is no longer available from the company, similar Italian Inlay music boxes are priced at $175 and up. This is a very high quality reputable music box company. And this item is near-pristine, suitable for gift giving.

It has two metal hinges on back of lid that opens to reveal the small compartment for keepsakes or jewelry and the wood covered musical workings. Music plays very smoothly. Original label on bottom identifies tune as "The Emperor's Waltz" .

Main part of box is a highly laminated dark burled wood. Top is beautifully inlaid with two flowers and vines and edged in lighter wood. Stands on 4 dark feet. Very smoothly varnished. Beautiful.

Box measures approx 5.75 X 4.25 X 2.25 inches tall.

Gold tone metal key with an S imprinted on the bottom. Has dark blue and gold sticker "Made in Italy SM" This is very much like a Reuge wooden inlay music box I sold previously. But I'm not sure that is the correct brand since there is no Reuge marker. I'm wondering if the S on the music crank stands for Sorrento.
Has another oval gold sticker with "The Emperor's Waltz".

I sold a plainer wooden music box with workings by Reuge, and received this e-mail: "The reason I really wanted it is because we visited Salzburg this past week, and all the music boxes they make now are junk. My mom gave me a music box similar to the one I purchased from you, and I've always loved it...so I really wanted to give my daughter one she would have forever. Thanks so much! "

Near pristine vintage condition as far as appearance and musical workings. Wood is in good shape with smooth finish. PLEASE ZOOM IN on photos TO SCRUTINIZE appearance for yourself and send me any questions before purchase. Of Gift Giving Quality!

Perfect presentation box for a romantic gift of jewelry. Would look lovely on dresser or boudoir.
