VICHY AUTOMATION OF A PROVINCIAL MAIDEN ON WHEELED BASE.

VICHY AUTOMATION OF A PROVINCIAL MAIDEN ON WHEELED BASE. This piece is unmarked, but typical of Vichy manufacture. A parian headed maiden is dressed in provincial garb and when the mechanism is activated, this toy will roll forward upon the floor and by means of an eccentric cam, her arms would rise and fall. The piece appears to be in all original condition including the clothing, however there is some frailty and melting to the silk and cotton fabric. A finely detailed face with painted eyes, she also has very fine dainty bisque hands reminiscent of what one would find on a fine pincushion. SIZE: 12″ t. CONDITION: Overall as described above. Mechanism to raise and lower arms in need of adjustment/attention. 1-11761 (1,400-1,800)
