Geisha Girl Automaton. Paris, Pierre Mayer, ca. 2002. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/42385658_geisha-girl-automaton-paris-pierre-mayer-ca-2002

Sold for:
$1,400

Geisha Girl Automaton. Paris, Pierre Mayer, ca. 2002. Handmade wooden automaton with exposed works. The Geisha raises the cup to show a ball underneath. As the crank is turned, the cup descends, and she waves a fan, the cup is then raised and the ball has vanished – only to reappear on her shoulder. Hardwood and metal construction. 6 x 3 x 7 ”. Signed by the maker. Very good.
