This year Reuge choose the great composer Igor Stravinsky and his opera “The
Firebird”. Igor Stravinsky (1882 – 1971) was a very well-known and particularly
appreciated composer of Russian origin. He is widely considered one of the most
important and influential composers of the 20th century. Stravinsky’s work spans
nearly seventy years and is characterized by its great stylistic diversity. His opera
“The Firebird” was written in 1909/10 based on a Russian tale. The melodies recall
MUSIC BOXES
the most symbolic moments of the opera, the lullaby and the finale. The complexity
is presented by preserving the wealth and depth of an opera composed of many
instruments with a single musical movement. The box specially designed for this
melody has been made in maple wood integrating by hand over 400 different
pieces of woods. The inlay on the lid represents the dance of the princess and the
firebird. The inside of the lid shows the princess turned into a bird. To complete
this outstanding beauty of a box the master craftsmen in wood-inlay have added
feathers on the sides of the box. The exquisite 144 note Reuge movement makes
this model a much sought-after piece of the Art of Mechanical music. The history
of Reuge has always been closely linked to classical music. Many composers
have already been featured by Reuge, their creation being a natural fit for the
transposition to the Art of mechanical music.

Palermo is an exceptional piece of furniture, in both the musical and decorative
sense of the term. It exudes a dream-like quality in its gentle elegance. The box
seems to come alive with rich wood colours, from reddish-brown to pinkish-
yellow. It is crafted from burr amboyna, a rare, precious Asian wood used
exclusively for luxurious decorative objects. Palermo is the perfect example
of the meticulous work carried out by our master-cabinetmakers and inlayers.
The inlay is composed of more than 450 pieces of wood, hand-placed one by
one into the wood veneer. Palermo offers a whole concert of 20 tunes, taken
from the most important artistic periods from the Renaissance to today. Like a
philarmonic orchestra, Palermo has a 144 note movement, six bells and a drum.
The movement is luxuriously finished with meticulous details, with a base-plate
decorativd with Côtes de Genève engraving and a chamfered polished finish.
