Automaton music box with clock, after models by Karl Griesbaum; Germany; 20th century. Gilt bronze and enamel. Press set. Preserves key. Measurements: 7 x 11 x 9.5 cm. Music box with an enamelled decoration with neoclassical aesthetic ornamentation on the front and borders with figurative scenes on the sides and in the upper area. On the front is the clock case with a white dial and Roman numerals in black. This type of object was very popular from the 19th century onwards, with a great variety of models, factories, materials, etc., usually concealing the mechanism that moves them to surprise the spectator and often accompanied by a musical mechanism. However, they were always intended for the upper classes, given that their construction and design required high quality and mastery due to the delicacy of the machinery and the materials chosen.
