A French Gilt Bronze Automaton Clock, Medainela AY
19TH CENTURY
十九世紀 法國銅鍍金中國風情亭式鈡
標記:Medainle Ay
of rectangular form, the top set with a temple form structure and two figures over the engine turned dial with Roman numerals signed Medainle Ay, the whole raised on scrolling feet.

這精緻的小臺鈡是19世紀法式中國風的絕佳體現。經典四方鈡樓的上部鋪以絳紅絲綢,改造成一方小小舞臺,一對男女身著西式長袍,袍子上的紋樣和女子的云肩卻是典型的東方風情。人物之間的圓桌同樣鋪陳著絳紅絲,綴以精巧的金絲流蘇。桌面上一座亭台,以鏡面分隔成四個微縮場景,拉動隱藏在鈡身背後的抽繩,可以自由變換。
Height 25 x width 11 1/2 x depth 6 1/2 in., 63.5 x 29.2 x 16.5 cm.
