Description
Walnut sheet music box
A wooden box in which to store music. This sheet music box is carved and assembled to look like a book. The top slides off and then music can be slipped inside from above. The wood itself is most likely walnut and it has a lovely ‘burr’ or grain effect. It features and inlaid surround and spine. The word ‘MUSIC.’ is carved on the front. The box is in good condition with one crack on the front, which appears not to be structural, with some other cracks and wear. The patina is exceptional.
