Description

ÒTurkÓ Magician Musical Automaton. Paris: Leopold Lambert, ca. 1900s. As the music box plays, the magician, blinking his eyes and turning his head, raises cups held in each hand to show objects vanish, appear, and transpose underneath them. Fine period-type costume and accurately-recreated draperies. Mohair wig and mustache. 25Ó tall, inclusive of velvet-covered wooden base (12 x 9 x 4 _Ó). Right hand a bit out of alignment, but good working condition overall. Original clockwork mechanics professionally restored. Lambert key bears the companyÕs ÒLBÓ initials. Video on request. A scarce example of a Lambert-made Escamoteur, typically encountered with only one cup in the figureÕs hand, and decorated and dressed as a clown.
