Lot 18

The music box appears to be working but we have not thoroughly tested its operation nor fitted the spare disc, and cannot comment on the condition of working parts
The monkey dancers are moving but appear to require some maintenance.
The case of the polyphon and the discs have been restored and repolished and remain well presented. The decoration to the front of the polyphon which is rather naive in execution, might be original but this is uncertain; it is also unclear whether this has been added to or restored
Plinth base is likely to have been added at the same time as the painted and wood carved figure, likely in the second half of the 20th century
The mirror back and dancers showing signs of aging and wear
