Large Handcrafted and Working Antique Automaton w. Rare Circus Clown & Monkey
Located in Lisse, NL
Extremely rare, circus related antique automaton from a Swiss collection.
Via a Swiss trade contact we were given the opportunity to purchase this extremely rare and all handcrafted automaton. Unfortunately the lady who had owned it for the last 40 years had passed away and had never mentioned where she purchased this unique collectible. Since she owned many rare antiques, it was known that she had also made purchases at renowned auction houses. Because of the absolute rarity of this circus automaton we would not be surprised if that is where she purchased it. Every collector is different and to this lady it apparently was important to keep a piece like this, exactly as she found it (truly original). As you can tell, from the clown's clothing particularly, this rare automaton has never been restored. It is for that reason that the clown's silk clothes are almost completely warn and lost all their color. You can even see 'the base' of this clown's colar. We are not sure if the hand-painted heads, hands and feet are ceramic or if they are paper mache, but they all are in excellent condition. With the circus clown sitting on a table-like stool and the monkey on a high pedestal to get them 'level-eyed', it is also possible that the monkey is supposed to portray a ventriloquist dummy. The wind-up mechanism (located inside the body of the clown) could only run very shortly and that is why we had it cleaned. It can now again run its full length of appr. one hour and five minutes. Underneath the clown's warn silk clothing one can see how the clown's torso is covered / made up of small newspaper parts and since they are in German, this leads us to believe that this automaton was either Swiss or German made. To find an antique automaton with more than one moving character is rare. To find one with a circus clown and circus monkey...

Antique Gothic Revival Hand Carved Oak Wall Cabinet with Green Cathedral Glass
Located in Lisse, NL
Unique and striking Gothic Revival wall cabinet with perfect working lock and key.
This handcrafted and probably unique Gothic Revival wall cabinet from the late 1800s is another one of our magnificent recent finds. The size, the quality in the large amount of hand-carved Gothic details, the patina and the excellent condition make this another perfect purchase for collectors of this ancient and highly decorative style. The overal design, including the Gothic church window in the door, is right up there with the best we have seen to date. However, what makes this Gothic work of beauty really stand out for us, is the combination of the patina of the light tiger oak and the perfect condition, green cathedral glass panel in the door. That combination truly is a joy to look at. The door, by the way, still opens and shuts tight perfectly and it comes with a perfect working lock and key. Have you also noticed the original, gilt bronze lock plate? That is a work of art in its own right. The clean inside of this cabinet comes with two removable, solid oak shelves and the inside of the door is veneered with a wonderful bird's eye maple. On the back of this unique and antique Gothic cabinet...

At the centre of this Christian-work-of-art-wall-plaque and behind the original, mouth-blown convex glass 'window' is an even more detailed sepiolite sculpture of Christ on the cross.
