Sleep, My Child Music Box

Enter a world of warmth and comfort with this enchanting music box from KWO (Kunstgewerbe-Werkstätten Olbernhau). Lovingly handcrafted in the heart of the Ore Mountains, this tender nighttime scene features a peacefully sleeping child tucked under a red-checkered blanket, while a caring angel reads a bedtime story by the soft glow of a smiling crescent moon.

Charming details like tiny slippers, scattered toys, and the delicately painted heart motifs on the cradle bring this heartwarming moment to life. The softly blended colors and whimsical design create a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for sending little ones off to dreamland.

The high-quality 18-note mechanical movement by Sankyo plays the beloved German lullaby “Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf…” (“Sleep, little child, sleep…”)—a gentle melody that evokes cherished memories of childhood. The mechanism is wound from the bottom and can be manually started and stopped, adding a nostalgic, hands-on touch to this timeless piece.

Whether given as a heartfelt gift for a newborn, christening, or as a treasured addition to a collector’s shelf, this music box is a beautiful expression of love, security, and tradition.
