Enameled porcelain Eiffel Tower music box – Made in France
Original decorative music box shaped like the Eiffel Tower, made of enameled porcelain or ceramic in an intense turquoise green tone. A piece dedicated to the most recognizable monument in Paris and of special appeal to collectors of music boxes, French souvenirs, and vintage decorative objects.
The figure reproduces the characteristic silhouette of the Eiffel Tower, from its four large arched supports to the narrow upper structure. The entire surface is worked in relief to imitate the monument's metallic lattice, with dark lines that highlight the details over the green enamel.
The musical mechanism is housed in the lower part and is preserved and in proper working order.
The base features the inscriptions “MADE IN FRANCE” and “FRANCE”. It also retains a paper label on the mechanism that reads “Paris Tour Eiffel” and the number 1629.
Dimensions: 14.5 x 15.4 x H 32.5 cm.

Conservation status
It is in good general condition, maintaining the bright green enamel and the definition of the decorative lattice.
Small signs of use and the passage of time can be seen on the base and in some areas of the enamel. The paper label of the mechanism shows aging, which is normal for a used piece.
The musical mechanism has been checked and is in working order.
The photographs are part of the description and allow for the inspection of both the exterior and the mechanism located in the lower part.
An Eiffel Tower that is also a music box
The curious aspect of this piece appears when you turn it over. What at first glance looks like a decorative reproduction of the Eiffel Tower hides a music box mechanism in its base.
The inscription “Made in France” and the “Paris Tour Eiffel” label directly link the piece to France and the monument it reproduces.
With its 32.5 cm height, it has enough presence to be displayed in a cabinet, on a shelf, or alongside a collection of French objects.
About the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 Paris World's Fair and designed by Gustave Eiffel's company. Over time, it went from being a structure conceived for that exhibition to becoming one of the most recognizable symbols of Paris and France.
This music box reproduces its characteristic structure through a relief lattice that covers practically the entire piece.
