ANTiQUE FRENCH HAND MADE MUSICAL AUTOMATON JESTER CLOWN THAT PLAYS MUSIC & MOVES
About the Item
Royal House Antiques
Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this vintage French musical and moving Automaton Jester clown
A very good looking and well made piece, the hand moves to put the mask on and it plays music, I'm not 100% sure of the age but I'm going to inspect it further to try and have a look at the movement, hopefully that will help me identify it
Condition wise looks great for the period, its not serviced so I can't say how well it works, when we were picturing it it came to life at the end all by itself, I'm not sure if there is some trick to getting it going other than winding it up of course!
