12" (31 cm) Rare Antique French Musketeer with Pistol on Wheeled Base by Vichy A bisque-head man with slender face,brown glass inset eyes,modeled bisque moustache and goatee,aquiline nose,auburn mohair wig,carton torso and legs,and metal hands is mounted upon a three-wheeled metal base. He wears an elaborate aristocratic costume in the manner of the Musketeers with matching hat and above-the knee brown kidskin boots,and carries a brass-plated pistol in his right hand. The mechanism is signed Vichy. Four movements. Movements: the entire piece revolves and glides on the wheeled base,the man nods his head up and down,and rapidly fires the pistol. Very good condition.
