"Pendulum Automate Sailboat Near The Shore 19th Time"
Very pretty and rare pendulum automaton in gilded and patinated bronze, on the theme of the sea. A boat sails in the swell, while a man on the ground tries to send him mooring ropes. The boat is in motion thanks to a mechanism hidden below with the clockwork movement. The sailboat is in ivory, the sailor who is on top in lead. The pendulum is decorated with many golden bronzes on the theme of the sea: feet in the shape of scallops, seaweed, mermaids and shells. Wire movement, balance and original key. In operating condition. Very beautiful patina, original gilding. Charles X period.
