The top box in this section is the singing bird box commissioned by
Charles X, a real Royal Collection piece, with musical movement
combination in the gold and enamel case, two further gold singing birds
flank this lot and the ever-popular musical vertu pieces. Among the
many cylinder musical boxes, a superb four-overture "Minor-Format"
Nicole Frères box takes centre stage.
