Vintage Working Maelzel Paquet Pyramid Metronome France / Wooden Music Timer
Antique Maelzel Paquet metronome, crafted in the 20th Century. The metronome features a beautifully aged mahogany wood pyramid case with an oval shaped plaque reading "Maelzel 1815 Paquet 1846 Made in France".
Johann Maelzel patented the mechanical metronome design in the early 19th century (1815), and the Paquet firm later manufactured and continued these classic French metronomes.
Renowned for precision, metronomes have long been favoured by musician and collectors alike for assisting in maintaining a steady and consistent temp.
In full working order. The wind up clockwork mechanism moves a weighted pendulum to keep a steady musical beat.
This piece carries the elegance and craftsmanship of the period and is a wonderful piece of musical history.
Ideal for display, as a collectible or as a treasured item for any musician. A great gift and will look great as part of a collection for pieces of woodenware, musical items or treen items.
