Description
Attributed to Roullet and Descamps. France - Circa 1910 - 19 1/2" Tall. Three small bisque dolls are dressed as children. They are seated atop a type of early plane that most closely resembles the form of a Bleriot monoplane. When the toy is given a firm winding and the mechanism stop is released, the carousel is set in motion and the planes and their pilots begin to circle around. Toys such as this striking carousel were very costly in their day. They are referred to as automata and they often appeal equally to collectors of old toys and old dolls. Considering the fragility of its materials, it must be seen as being in great condition.
