Description
Under the striped canopy of the old carousel in the Tuileries, a little boy chooses the horse with roses painted on its saddle. The music starts, the platform turns, and he rises and falls, rises and falls, past his mother, past the fountain, past the pigeons, past his mother again. Years later he will become a pianist, and the first piece he learns by heart will be a polonaise by Chopin.
This box joins those two worlds, the fairground and the concert hall. Shaped as a carousel-style horse decorated with florals, it has intricate painted detailing from mane to hoof, and it plays the Chopin Polonaise melody. Give it to a piano student after a first recital, to a rider who loves horses as much as music, or to a grandparent who still hums along at the merry-go-round. Set it on top of the piano, where it can wait between lessons, or on a bedside table for a gentle tune at night.
