This sterling silver box is highly decorated with a delicate drape straight-line engine-turned patterns adorning the lid and side panels, as well the internal chamber. Upon opening the 24-karate gold and turquoise bead embellished lid, ornamented with an antique French enamel hand-painted miniature of two young lovers in a pastoral setting, a cigarette dispenser and lighter is revealed.
 
When one pushes a secret silver catch, a hidden compartment with a mirror opens to reveal a decadent scene of two automata, a man and woman, in an erotic embrace. With a lifelike vigor, the two figures move in time to Beethoven’s Fur Elise.
