Killybegs Cottage – Danny Boy wind up music box
 
‘Deep in the heart of rural Ireland, thatched cottages such as this are still to be found adding depth and colour to the Irish landscape. This hand painted model has all the character and charm which endeared it so long ago.’
 
Handcrafted in Ireland by Miniature Masterpieces Bray, co. Wicklow.
 
It features a working wind-up mechanism underneath, which when wound, plays the tune of ‘Danny Boy’ an emotive folk song often associated with memorial and reunion.
 
The best feature of this beautiful music box is the tiny couple, which spins and dances when the tune plays, perhaps reflective of the tiny couple’s gleeful reunion.
 
A nostalgic and special piece, this would make an amazing gift or keep it for yourself to play when you’re down.
 
Measures approximately 15.5cm x 11.2cm x 11cm
 
****May or may not be haunted.. It has actually started playing on its own on the odd occasion! This could be a mechanical , or something else****
