Early and vintage French automaton called "Vivienne". When operating, Vivienne lifts her mirror to see herself, opens and closes her eyes, turns her head, and lifts her powder puff. Sitting at her vanity, fully operational and the music box plays wonderfully. With vanity accessories. Condition: Shows original clothing, composition head with formed hands. Light soiling from age and minor damage to the hem of the dress but nothing to distract from the great early look. A wonderful example of a French automaton.
Condition: (Very Good).
Item Dimensions: 8" x 8" x 14".
