Italian Revolving Musical Jewelry Box — Reuge Movement

This vintage revolving musical jewelry box, crafted in Florence, Italy by Simons, showcases exquisite Italian artistry combined with Swiss precision. The piece features hand-painted floral panels set against deep navy and cream enameling, accented with intricate gilt metal framework and detailed figural feet. A charming putto finial crowns the domed lid, enhancing its neoclassical appeal.

Upon winding the mechanism located on the underside, pressing the front button initiates a captivating performance: the box rotates while playing “Speak Softly Love” — the theme from The Godfather — powered by a renowned Swiss Reuge musical movement. As the melody plays, the doors gently open to reveal red velvet-lined compartments suitable for storing small jewelry items. Once the tune concludes, the doors remain open until manually closed, ready for the next activation.

This harmonious blend of Italian design and Swiss craftsmanship makes it a distinctive addition to any collection.
