INCREDIBLY CHARMING FRENCH TOY
ANTIQUE / VINTAGE WIND UP
ROULLET ET DECAMPS AUTOMATON MONKEY
LOVELY WORKING EXAMPLE
MADE IN FRANCE, FROM EARLIER LAST CENTURY
QUALITY FRENCH AUTOMATA, WITH PAPIER MACHE CONSTRUCTION, REAL FUR , GLASS EYES AND HAND PAINTED DETAILING
NICE SIZE AT AROUND 29 CM / BIT UNDER 12 INCHES
MECHANICAL / ARTICULATED MONKEY, WITH MOVING ARM, HEAD AND MOUTH
BODY ALSO CONCEALS A MUSICAL MECHANISM
MONKEY SITS “PLAYING” HIS GUITAR, WITH ACCOMPANYING MUSICAL TUNE
IN GREAT OLD STATE, NOT MESSED ABOUT WITH……..JUST ODD NATURAL AND EXPECTED SIGNS OF AGE….. INCLUDING WEAR,CHIPS,FLAKING ABOUT HIS BODY ETC…
UNDERSIDE IS ALSO VERY NICE AND CLEAN, WITHOUT SEPARATION OR SIGNS OF HEAVY DISTRESS
AUTOMATON RETAINS THE ORIGINAL PERMANENTY ATTACHED R&D KEY(these keys are a fixed part of the mechanism/ not removable…..you often see them snapped or broken off)
THE MONKEY LOOKS VERY NICE, STILL WITH A REALLY ATTRACTIVE FULL FUR COAT…..ESPECIALLY ABOUT HIS FACE AND EARS ( these automatons often have worn,missing or even trimmed fur about the head and face).
ORIG. PAINTED MOUTH DETAILING; CORRECT GUITAR BODY & NECK .
(please see all the images for actual condition)
with a careful wind up of the rear mounted key, the internal spring tensions and the movements and musical tune perform well…..still giving a nice amount of head and mouth movement
(YOU CAN SEE A SHORT VIDEO CLIP OF HIM… https://youtu.be/eVwdAF4CYpY)
DELIGHTFUL PERIOD AUTOMATON……NOT A MODERN REPRODUCTION
LOOKS GREAT ON DISPLAY
