a rare and fascinating subject, inspired by the mechanics of early gramophones and reinterpreted here as a high quality decorative silver object. The structure is compact yet rich, with a convincing rendering of gears and functional components.

a particularly interesting feature is the moving part, which adds technical value and makes the miniature more than a purely static sculpture. The weight is well proportioned to the dimensions and confirms a solid construction in 925 sterling silver.
