This is a very large French coin operated automaton with 5 figures. The figures
move and play there instruments to the music provided by a nice built in Swiss
music box . The paintings on the back and sides with small seashells on the
floor in simulated sand seem to represent an ocean side holiday resort area
and these are 5 performers on the beach. The center figure with the baton in
his hand stands 17 inches tall. It was made in France about 100 years ago. All
5 figures appear to have there original silk clothing. The figures have been
closed in the glass case and it must have helped to preserve the figures so
well. It works nicely, it could use some tweaking. It is 31 inches high 33 inches
wide and 19 inches deep. If you would like to purchase this or if you would
