Drinking Polar Bear – SOLD

Drinking Polar Bear Musical Automaton.  c.1890, Paris, Roullet & Decamps

A rare white drinking bear. The bear pours real liquid, emptying his bottle into the cup. After drinking the cup contents he lowers it and pours another cupful from the magically refilled bottle. The sequence continues for several cycles as the music plays.

We first sold this particular bear in 2003 and now have the pleasure to service him and offer him for sale again.

Clockwork mechanism in a wood and papier mache body with musical movement.
