This is an antique late 19th century Swiss table top size carillon music box that plays by hand crank. A carillon is one that uses bell chimes. Usually these have a paper label affixed to the inside of the lid with a list of the names of the songs that can be played and the manufacturers name. This was likely produced by Harry Gautschi & Sons. The top is done in marquetry, or inlaid wood to make a floral design picture. There is visible condition issues to the veneer, which will be take in to consideration in the valuation.
