19th C.Carved Wood Child's Chair BLACK FOREST Music Box

Scroll down for more photos.

Unmarked manufacture, but with an original French language paper label on the bottom of the seat.  It was probably made in Switzerland, in the late nineteenth century.  This is a child's chair with a music box built into the seat.  It is carved with a motif of edelweiss flowers.  The label on the bottom of the chair lists two melodies: Ma petite fauvette (My Little Warbler) and Histoire de hou....  The music box movement inside the seat appears to be the original, and it is in good working condition.  I have a key which works to wind the movement, but it is not the original key.  The chair measures almost 25" high.  The seat is 13" high and measures approx 10" by 10".  The entire chair is designed so that it can be easily taken apart into five pieces, and that is how I will send it.  The legs and the leg holes each have matching carved roman numerals on them.  I have found three chips on the seat back, and one small water stain on the seat. (The light spots in the leaves on the seat are light reflections.  The water stain is the only spot that is not on a leaf).
