The Bradford Exchange James Hautman A Messenger from Heaven Cardinal Heirloom Porcelain Music Box

I purchased one of these for his wife when my great-nephew passed away. I frequently give music boxes for a personal touch when a loved one is lost. I was captivated by the beauty, as well as the clarity of the music. The painting of the male cardinal is unusually beautiful, as is the design with the little heart attached to the vine on top which allows the lid to be lifted. The clear gems add an elegant look, as well. I was so impressed with it that the next month, a dear friend lost her husband, and as she lived out of town, I sent the same music box to her, as well. I have purchased several music boxes from this company and have never been disappointed! I have collected music boxes for 40+ years from all over the world, and though, this music box is very small, it's quality and beauty makes it a worthwhile purchase!

It’s beautiful but I was a bit disappointed about the packaging. It was a gift for someone so it looked a little cheap because of the way it was packaged.

Very nice oroduct, fast service. Saw this item from Bradford Exchange, with severl werk delivery. Ordered on amazon, had it in a matter of days

Looks nice just a little small would be very nice if it was twice as big

We presented two of these to friends whose mother had passed on years ago and whose father passed just over a year ago. They had mentioned seeing live cardinals and thinking of the parents spiritual visit with them. They were both thrilled with the gift. The music boxes came very well packaged in styrofoam that was the ultimate protection against breakage. The music boxes were smaller than I had anticipated, as it looked larger as an item to order. I was a bit disappointed that it was quite small and the key to wind it was inside the box (not below), so that was a little surprising to me. It was, however, a small and beautiful music box. They were very meaningful gifts as one sister cried when she opened it and the other loved hers as well.

I bought this for a friend who lost her son in a car accident. It was perfect! She loved it! Its very detailed.

Mom cried ... Don't hesitate on this one if your loved one has lost a treasured loved one

Beautiful.
