Vintage JAF Paris Automaton Figure with Moving Glass Eyes

A rare and charming vintage automaton by JAF Paris, featuring a whimsical anthropomorphic bull figure. This mechanical piece combines craftsmanship, humor, and movement—typical of mid-20th-century French automata.

The figure is dressed in textile clothing and stands on a wooden base, with expressive glass eyes that move when activated. The internal mechanism is electric, and the automaton is in working condition, bringing the character to life with subtle animated motion.

Beautifully detailed, from the hand-painted head to the small wire glasses and fabric outfit, this piece shows signs of age and wear that enhance its authenticity and unique personality.
