Siegfried & Roy automaton. Paris, Pierre Mayer, ca. 2002. Handmade wooden automaton with exposed works. The famous Las Vegas magicians perform the Metamorphosis trick when the brass handle is cranked – a curtain is raised and lowered, the door of the box opens, and the magicians change places, and a white tiger makes an unexpected appearance in the process. Hardwood and metal construction. 5 ¾ x 3 ½ x 10”. Hallmarked. Fine.
