Please, can you provide me with some assistance?  I have recently
inherited a Freres Rochat singing bird box (number 141, date of
manufacture 1815, I think).

Do you know where I could get some information about this item?
I have carried out an Internet search but my findings are a bit
limited.  I would be grateful for any help you can give me.

Regards
