1900, FRANCE: This is a very early French automata with music box consisting of four young ladies dancing under an umbrella in a park. Showing original clothing, all original appointments including feathers. The music box operated by pulling the string at the base, and pulling the knob out to release the flywheel. CONSIDERATIONS: It is likely that this automata was housed in a domed display at one time, and now is contained in a custom Plexiglass case. The music box works well, all the dancers spin and action include the umbrella turning. A great early automata, and quite possibly a domed cabinet can be found for it.
This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.

Item Dimensions: 17" x 13 - 1/2" x 13 - 1/2".
