A rectangular gold musical box decorated with translucent deep blue enamel over a finely patterned geometric ground. The lid features an elaborate symmetrical composition of gold foliate motifs and curved borders set with pearls. At the centre, a turquoise cabochon is surrounded by pearls and delicate gold scrollwork. The sides are embellished with finely chased ornamental borders. The box is accompanied by a small gold winding key. The rich blue enamel, contrasting gold decoration, and colourful gemstones reflect the refined craftsmanship of early nineteenth-century Geneva.
