Bell-Ringers organ automata

LIMONAIRE Frères

Pair of carved wooden statues polychrome, automatons, used to beat the tempo on merry-go-round organs. The bell ringers, used in decoration as caryatids, are animated by a pneumatic control connected directly to that of the bass drum.

The originality of their Turkish folkloric dresses is due to the Orientalist taste of the late 19th century.
