This Jacquemart figure automaton is outstanding and extremely rare. What is special is the multicoloured design of the figures and of course, from a technical point of view the carillon beat, which is extremely rare in figure automata. Even simply designed machines with a carillon have already achieved prices between € 10.000 and 15.000 at auctions.
