Gramophone, French work, circa 1930 La Boîte à Musique - Millau This mechanical record player is housed in an elegant black-lacquered wooden case, decorated with gilded Asian scenes in the Japanese style. The hinged lid reveals the hand-cranked playback device, identifiable by its stamped metal arm, and equipped with an integrated amplification system behind a front panel with movable shutters. In the lower section, two doors open onto a compartmentalized storage space, housing a collection of vintage records (approx. 100 items), including evocative titles such as Cannes la jolie or Ballet d'Isoline.
