Magnificent Roullet & Decamps Automaton “The Belle of the Ball” featuring an elegantly-attired, statuesque figure of a lady with an exceptionally beautiful, rare brown-eyed version of the most desirable Portrait Jumeau bisque head – all of the bisque parts are in perfect condition. Wind the mechanism, pull the stop and music begins as the lady surveys the room, nodding at acquaintances – while she intermittently fans herself. She then lifts her nosegay, including an ormolu posy holder, toward her face to enjoy the aroma of the flowers. The trained gown of cream brocade with gold bullion and hand beading is in excellent condition – her original wig is beautifully styled, and she wears a fine glittering tiara upon her sublime head. A magical, mechanical marvel. Measures: 28-1/2” overall. |

In beyond
beautiful condition, this adorable key-wind, walking French Kitty
by Roullet & Decamps features brilliantly clean fur complete
with delicately shaded pink ears, green glass eyes and a cute pink

her (or his!) ferocious mouth opens and closes, she sharply meows
like a young kitten and....walks! Adorable!

An exotic French Pull Toy, in a very grand scale, is this Sheik of Araby riding upon a Camel – probably in search of the next desert oasis. Pull the toy along, and the Sheik turns his head from side to side and waves his staff, probably in order to keep his camel friend on the move. In addition, a bellows-type squeaker emits a very un-camel-like sound! Please click here to view the Action Measures: 25 1/2" tall to top of stick, and 21" long. |
