Auction Items
Clockworks
C-1: Starting price at 18 gold and 5 silvers
Item C-1 is a round music box formed like the Tree of Life, whose replaceable song drums strum against stiff brass prongs to create notes. The music player comes with three popular melodies each lathed from solid brass rods and a brass turning key sculpted to resemble a lark perched on a branch.
The box rests on a stout bottom of deep stained mahogany; its six feet carved to resemble the gnarled roots of the Tree of Life and thick edges the magical Tree�s bark.
The sides, and lifting top, have been crafted of fragrant cedar sanded smooth and polished to a rich gleam with beeswax. The Tree�s bark continues up the aurally shining cylindrical box about half way up the sides until branches are carved to spread out thick with delicate leaves that seem almost to rustle in an eternally still wind.
The empty spaces between leaves and branches on the sides and the thick foliage of the top have been removed to allow for better sound projection and to add to the realism of the Tree�s shadowed interior. This realism is further enhanced by the turn of a few thin strips of bright brass inside the box that flash in the spaces as the music plays as though they were flashes of molten sunlight through the boughs.
The whole of the clockwork music player measures a king�s foot across, being a little more than three in the circumference, and one and a half from feet to top. When the top is opened, held by its shining brass standing hinges, its height reaches about two and one quarter king�s feet.
C-2: Starting price at 7 gold and 2 silvers
Item C-2 is an intricately detailed rose carved of rosewood. Twisting the bottom half of the stem to wind the clockwork will set the red-berry stained rosebud to unfold, layer after layer, as if opening to the warmth of a summer day. This will reveal a tiny sleeping pixie of silver with gold filigree wings curled upon the rose�s center, a button of yellow velvet. After a moment the clockwork will wind backwards and seal the rose back up to a fine bud.
The whole of the rose is just over a king�s foot and one half long, the leafy bud itself four finger widths. The stem, housing the clockwork, is a little thinner than a man�s thumb.
