Frise-Poulet. European, ca. 1875. Bronze desk set in the shape of a conjurer performing Cups and Balls on a draped, folding table. The magician wears a gibiciere, and is surrounded by a trunk, horn, and drum; he holds a ball in one hand and a wand in the other. The conjurer’s hat lifts to form an inkwell, and the trunk opens to accommodate stamps. The small figure on top of the center cup can be depressed to ring a bell, which no longer sounds. Overall height of 8”. Good condition.
