The little girl holds knitting needles and is busily knitting a stocking; when wound music plays (two tunes) while she nods her head up and down, and realistically "knits". Condition: generally excellent, mechanism and music function well, costume original albeit dusty. Marks: 5 Tete Jumeau (doll). Comments: Roullet et Decamps, circa 1895. Value Points: charming automata with beautiful Jumeau head, original presentation in fancy gilded chair, and lovely accompaniment to an exhibit of small French bebes.
