Description

Fine Tortoiseshell and Singing Bird Box by Rochat, c. 1830
No. 24, with fusee movement numbered and stamped with triple-tulip mark on the top-plate, four pairs of cams operating in sequence 1-2-3-4 for just over twenty seconds, female winding key, large bird with dark-green iridescent plumage with bright-blue streaks and red highlights, articulated bone beak, head, wings, tail and chased gold twig-form perch, in tortoiseshell case with hinged key-compartment at rear, grille with scalloped edge and fine engraving of a stylised bird in its bower, gilt oval lid with polished interior, lock and chased design of ferns and flowers on stippled ground, wd. 3 5/8 x dp. 2 ¼ x approx. ht. 1 1/8 (9,4 x 5,7 x 2,7 cm), minor repairs on underside of hinge. With key. The movement is in excellent working condition. The bird sings a complex three-part song: trills, refrain, trills. Twenty-four is one of the lowest serial numbers yet documented on a singing bird box by Rochat. The large size of the bird and complexity of the mechanism testify to the maker's skill in accommodating both within a case of such slim proportions. A particularly fine exhibition piece.

Feine Schildpatt- und Singvogeldose von Rochat, um 1830
Nr. 24, Antrieb über Kette und Schnecke, Mechanik mit dreifacher Tulpen-Marke auf der oberen Platine, 4 Nocken-Paare arbeiten in der Folge 1-2-3-4 für mehr als 20 Sekunden, Innenvierkantschlüssel. Großer Vogel in dunkelgrünem schillerndem Gefieder mit hellblauen Streifen und roten Akzenten, Kopf, Flügel, Schwanz und Schnabel aus Bein sind beweglich, drehbar auf ziselierter Stange in Form eines Astes; Schildpatt-Gehäuse mit rückseitigem Fach für den Schlüssel, Abdeckung der Mechanik mit rundgezacktem Rand, fein graviertem Vogel und Blumenmotiven als seine Laube; ovaler vergoldeter Deckel, innen poliert, außen mit gravierten Blumen und Farnen auf gepunktetem Untergrund, Maße 9,4 x 5,7 x 2,7 cm, minimale Reparatur an der Unterseite des Scharniers, mit Schlüssel. Die Mechanik befindet sich in exzellent funktionierendem Zustand, der Vogel singt ein kompliziertes dreiteiliges Lied bestehend aus Trillern, Refrain und Trillern. Die Nr. 24 ist eine der niedrigsten Seriennummern, welche auf einer Singvogeldose von Rochat dokumentiert sind. Die Größe des Vogels und die Komplexität der Mechanik in einem sehr schlanken Gehäuse zeigen die technischen Fähigkeiten des Herstellers. Ein besonders schönes Ausstellungsstück.
