19th century articulated automaton doll
We are proud to offer a highly collectable and rare example of a late – 19th century English Folk Art, fully articulated hand carved wooden automaton doll figure. In the form of a small boy, this doll would have accompanied several similar figures that would have been part of an animated automaton display. With a support hole in its base, this item it would have been attached to a metal pole of sorts that would have moved up and down to animate the figure.

Its exceedingly difficult to photograph all the areas in this piece, therefore we strongly suggest reviewing all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment.
