AUTOMATON FEATURING AN ACROBAT WITH TWO CHAIRS
France, late 19th century. Attributed to Gustave Vichy (1839–1904) and Auguste Triboulet (1865–1920).
Oak box, papier-mâché, fabric and various other materials. The acrobat (possibly Cha-u-Kao) in a yellow dress with sequins demonstrates poses in which she leans with one arm on a chair back. In the other hand she balances a second chair (later). Winding mechanism with crank, a cylinder musical box plays four melodies.
53.5 × 39 × 88 cm.
Provenance:
Music box and automaton are in working order, but require revision/restoration. Dress and fabric coverings are heavily used and require restoration. Music box is probably later.
