1880s Manivelle Automaton Two Figures Playing Instruments Bisque Heads/Hands

Item Details

Description

French 1880s Manivelle Automaton featuring two figures playing instruments, one with a bass drum and cymbals and the other with a French Horn. The automation works as you can see in the video linked below. The Automaton is from the 19th century but at some point in the early/mid 20th century someone built up a case structure to protect the figures. The roof is removable and the glass panels slide out for storage/shipping. A great early working automaton.
