Item Details

Description

Rare Coin-Activated Musical Cabaret Dancer AutoÂmaton by Edouard-Henry Phalibois, c. 1900
Depicting a young woman dancing on a stage, the figure with original paint, brown glass eyes with articulated lids, shapely papier-mÃ¢chÃ© torso and legs, articulated at shoulders, waist, hips and knees, with large brass going-barrel movement with four-winged governor, two-air cylinder movement and five boxwood cams with steel runners causing the figure to bend from the waist, raise her arms in unison and each leg alternately, ht. 29 ½ in. (75 cm), figure 23 ¼ in. (59 cm), with winding ratchet, unrestored partially working condition, coin-trip mechanism partially extant, coin-slot present but disconnected, missing base and case, would benefit from sympathetic cleaning and restoration. - Note: The figure is mounted on a metal bar which moves up and down and also carries the linkages for the articulation of head and limbs. A similar system was used in miniature by Jean-Marie Phalibois for his tightrope dancer automata. - References: Auction Team Breker, 26 May 2012 (Lot 727) and 5 November 2016 (Lot 544) for dancing automata with similar movements by the same maker. - The automaton offered here is the only example of its kind that we have seen to date.

Seltener mÃ¼nzbetÃ¤tigter Musik-Revue-Tanzautomat von Edouard-Henry Phalibois, um 1900
Darstellung einer jungen Frau, die auf einer BÃ¼hne tanzt, Figur mit Original-Bemalung, braune Glasaugen mit beweglichen Lidern, wohlgeformter Torso und Beine aus PappmachÃ©, beweglich an Schultern, Taille, HÃ¼ften und Knien, mit groÃŸem Messingmotor mit vierflÃ¼geligem Geschwindigkeitsregler, Walzenspielwerk mit 2 Melodien und fÃ¼nf Buchsbaumnocken mit Stahlkufen, die die Figur veranlassen, sich von der Taille aus zu beugen, die Arme gleichzeitig und jedes Bein abwechselnd zu heben, GesamthÃ¶he 75 cm, HÃ¶he der Figur 59 cm, mit Aufzugsratsche, unrestaurierter, teilweise funktionsfÃ¤higer Zustand, MÃ¼nzmechanismus teilweise erhalten, MÃ¼nzschlitz vorhanden, aber nicht angeschlossen, Sockel und GehÃ¤use fehlen. Der Automat wÃ¼rde von einer wohlwollenden Reinigung und Restaurierung profitieren. - Hinweis: Die Figur ist auf einer Metallstange montiert, die sich auf und ab bewegt und die auch die GestÃ¤nge fÃ¼r die Bewegungen von Kopf und GliedmaÃŸen trÃ¤gt. Ein Ã¤hnliches System wurde in Miniaturform von Jean-Marie Phalibois fÃ¼r seine Seiltanzautomaten verwendet. - Referenzen: Auction Team Breker, 26. Mai 2012 (Lot 727) und 5. November 2016 (Lot 544) fÃ¼r Tanzautomaten mit Ã¤hnlichen Werken desselben Herstellers. - Der hier angebotene Automat ist das einzige Exemplar seiner Art, das wir bisher gesehen haben.
