Silver musical snuff box - Silver gilt - Switzerland - Early 19th century

Very early gold-plated silver snuff box. Box: Triangular shaped with rounded corners. All-round flower and leaf motifs and guilloche work. Box is in excellent condition, despite the old age. Mechanism: Very rare mechanism of the 'SUR-PLATEAU' type. The music is recorded on a disc instead of a cylinder. The start stop control is located on the front right, the melody choice control is on the front left. To change melody, the disc is slid on its axis. So there are 2 music combs, one at the top of the plate and one at the bottom of the plate. Depending on the choice of melody, one or the other comb is used Very rare! ! !
