Collectible Music Boxes

There are many variations to what people consider collectible music boxes, and I am a big advocate of only collecting things you truly love.  So if you love Disney, collect Disney music boxes, and if you love Wizard of Oz, collect Wizard of Oz music boxes.

However, on this page I am not going to bring you those types of boxes, instead I'm going to bring you some rare, antique, and vintage music boxes.  I am going to show you some of the most beautiful and exquisite sounding music boxes that are made today.  These pieces are true works of art.  If you have never had the privilege of hearing the 72 new music box, then you should at least get a recording of one.  They are that beautiful.

Antique Music Boxes: Not only antiques are collectible, and some are more fabulous than others.  But we have searched, and come up with some of the coolest and most desirable antique music boxes around.  From a religious Madonna, to vintage Cinderella, to a Faberge style box, you're sure to find a box that will please.  Our selection changes on a regular basis, so enjoy browsing through our rare music boxes.

Cylinder Music Boxes: Most wind up music boxes that are produced today are cylinder music boxes.  This simply means that a cylinder rotates and plucks pins as a goes around.  This is what creates the music.  The more notes cylinder music box has, the more complex the tune will be.  Some music boxes even come  with interchangeable cylinders.  We also feature on this page disc music boxes.  These complex boxes are musical instruments that are self-contained.  They are definitely worth checking out.

Reuge Music Boxes:  Reuge music boxes are made in Switzerland, and are considered the finest in the world by many collectors.  The musical movements in these Swiss music boxes produce some of the clearest sounds ever made in a musical box.  The sound quality of these movements is often enhanced by placing them in premium inlaid wood cases that are works of art in their own right.  If you are lucky enough to own a Reuge music box, then you are lucky indeed!

Italian Music Boxes:  In Italy across the ticker work very seriously, and this shows through in thewillmagnificentwillwillItalian inlaid music boxesare.  Each of these boxes is handcrafted with a process called marquetry inlay.    The inlay is done with fine burl woods, and wood that is hand dyed to produce the color.  The patterns on these boxes vary, but often feature flowers or musical instruments.  Every time I see one they make me smile.
