Some of the most elaborate cylinder music boxes were created in the Victorian era. Each antique Victorian music box was hand built and has unique characteristics including the addition of bells, castanets, drums, reed organs and more. All are encased in exquisite wooden cases, many with intricate marquetry inlay. These music boxes will add beauty and pleasure to your home both by sight and sound.

The disc music boxes were made for a very brief time period, from the mid 1880’s to about 1905 by Swiss, German and American makers such as Regina, Polyphon, Symphonion, Criterion, Olympia, New Century, Stella, Mira, Adler and Fortuna. Having an antique disc music box in your home brings serenity and elegance that you can enjoy alone or with your guests.
