Reuge Sèvres-Style Cobalt Blue Musical Lipstick Carousel with Ballerina

$2,000.00
The catalog card

A spectacular vintage Reuge musical lipstick carousel crafted in an ornate Sèvres-inspired style with rich cobalt blue enamel, elaborate gold-tone detailing, and romantic pastoral scenes throughout. The architectural form is finished with decorative columns, scrolling feet, and a floral finial, giving the piece the appearance of a miniature French pavilion.

Wind the musical mechanism from the underside, then twist the top finial to open the decorative doors and reveal a dancing ballerina at the center. As the music plays, the ballerina rotates within the gold-tone interior. One of the doors incorporates a fitted lipstick holder embellished with raised musical instruments, combining the piece’s musical and vanity functions beautifully.

The underside retains its original labels for Reuge Swiss Musical Movement and M. Mohler, Longemalle Souvenirs, Genève. A wonderfully elaborate vintage vanity collectible that is just as striking displayed closed as it is in motion.

We sell vintage items that may have been previously used and may show signs of wear. Please review pictures closely. All sales are final.
