Antique Music Box Bird Automaton with Clock
FRENCH BIRD MUSICAL AUTOMATON Here’s a nice example of a c. 1890 musical bird automaton, made in France. Measures 25″ high x 18″ wide x 9 high. French 7-day pendulum clock with 3.5 porcelain face. 5 birds, 2 of which are animated. 2-tune music box (wound by pull-string). The animation movements are activated by a side lever, and is wound with a separate key. The music box has the pull-rods normally associated with this genre; one for stop-start and the other for changing tunes. The dome is a plastic replacement, with a few cracks and a small missing section at the rear, but overall presenting a nice appearance. When activated the birds “chirp” by virtue of a mechanical device inside (this is not a bellows movement). Two of the birds are animated, one at the glass-rod “waterfall” (drinking) and the other yellow bird flapping his wings. Everything has been professionally serviced and working fine.
