Top of lid with floral inlay work. Lower cabinet for storing the perforated plates with original fittings, profiled top plate and ball feet. The interior contains 22 more perforated plates (39.5 cm in diameter). The beautiful musical mechanism was made by the company Polyphon-Musikwerke AG in Wahren near Leipzig. Height 110 x 64 x58 cm. The musical mechanism is not playable at the moment, because the lead weights under the combs have to be renewed, otherwise the musical device is in good condition with age-related signs of wear.
