Hard to believe that was made in 1772. Restored in 1864. Genius creation !!!

The fact that they made such a sophisticated automate at the time speaks volumes about the brilliance of its creator 😀. Wonderful piece of work...

@Ross Sinclair obviously i'm saying creepy in a good way, like haunting. i just said it was beautiful and wished i owned one. what are you having difficulty understanding?

this is beautiful and the craftsmanship is stunning

It's amazing that this came from the 1700s that it still works (if they take good care of it well and properly), it will last a long time. I'm surprised that every part of the animatronic/robot/mechanic figure moves, due to the rods, screws, and metal, that it is one of the first animatronics ever created. The machinery hidden under the woman's skirt moves the head, arms, and eyes. At first, it looks creepy, cause it's the way how it was designed, but it's truly a amazing masterpiece. It's beautiful.

This is not one of the first, at the same period japanese and other civilization where doing similar things. For Japan it's even more elaborated and they are called Karakuri puppets kzread.info/dash/bejne/m2muu61ydtu1gqw.html. Also animatronics existed even centuries before.

Didn't even left the eyes movement OMG what a wonderful creation

Was für eine wundervoll spieluhr ... Ist doch sehr schade das sowas nicht mehr neu hergestellt wird ... Der klang verzaubert immer wieder .. Sehr sehr lieben dank 😍😍😍😘💞💞🕯😇🤗😊

Truly the period of fine art in all things. The French are such leaders and masters of art and style. My favorite period which is so beautifully represented by this masterpiece of craftsmanship!

So fascinating. Who knew technology was that developed. The one that can draw and write was mind blowing too.

Its gaze at 1:45, wow !

Absolutely mind-blowingly clever and gorgeous.

Wonderful 😱😱😊😊

Absolutely remarkable! What amazes me most is the subtle gestures, as I am familiar with the complicated mechanics that it would have involved to include them. A true work of love and art!

C'est un grand inventeur. Bravo et merci pour votre partage.

Holy Hannah!! What an amazing creation. It boggles the mind to think of how they created this, one bit at a time, with what - hundreds? thousands? of moving parts. I can't help but wonder if after years of skilled craftsmen working on this, day in and day out, fine-tuning it to perfection, maybe Marie and Louis just listened politely to a few tunes, then wandered off and did something else, like kids at Christmas ("Oh, let's go play with the box!"). LOL Humans. Go figure.

I don’t know about Marie Antoinette, but I wonder if Louis wasn’t taken by it. His hobby was watchmaking and so he was probably interested in mechanisms.

So beautiful how she plays.

BEAUTIFUL! I wish I owned it!

Absolutly fantastic ...and spooky. the one of the boy writing, watch the eyes

That's amazing how they crafted such a beautiful piece of engineering back then.

i was unaware craftsmanship like this existed until today

Such a beautiful creation.....

Truly incredible!

I'm considering purchasing one of these so that I might play these when I come home from work at 11pm, when I will then sit in my Louis XIV oval medallion tufted sage green linen dining chair as I drink a glass of Beaujolais Nouveau.

what i wonderful item, i saw one back in the late 70s it was wonderful to sit and listen to it and watch it. to understand how they made something like this almost 200 years ago. wow

now this is truly a work of art.

This is far more complicate than a simple music box or a player piano. Incredible!

Exquisite!

How extraordinary. What a thing of beauty.

Soo..beautiful. This is wonderful!!!

It's very fantastic!

Beautiful I hope Marie enjoyed it.

This is what I call art :) Someone should tune the strings, though...

C'est impressionnant, quel magnifique automate !

Aagh that one dislike was me. I was aiming to Fav it and didn't have my mouse over quite far enough. Definitely don't dislike this; It's beautiful, in an eerie, haunting sort of way.

Wow !

Amazing ! ! !

No matter how many times I watch this, I am still impressed! I'd Love to have something like her as my own one day...or even be skilled enough to create a replica! Magnificent!

A damsel with a dulcimer In a vision once I saw; It was an Abyssinian maid, And on her dulcimer she played, Singing of Mount Abora. Could I revive within me Her symphony and song, To such a deep delight ’twould win me, That with music loud and long, I would build that dome in air, That sunny dome! those caves of ice! You sent me to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, thank you.

1:32 gave me chills this is a really good song

nice ! the hammers falling down on the strings make the music - one could have thought the pins on the big wheel shown at the beginning would generate the sound as done usually.

I can't believe they are handling the dress with bare hands when they lift it up. Even if it's not the original fabric, it's still quite old. Handling such fragile artifacts with your bare hands can speed up deterioration!

Fascinating.

Incredible and stunningly beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Absolument brilliant! Le détail et le soin accordé aux gestures m'impressionnent beaucoup ^^ J'espère pouvoir construire quelque chose d'aussi sophistiqué un jour...

Not sure why, but this makes me sad for some reason. Great music, though!

I Heart Noise / Ilya S it makes me sad because the owner of this music box was killed, it gives me feels to know she listened to this and i can also hear it but it was her’s she had a fucking music box of herself! If you think about it the king and queen weren’t bad people, they simply didn’t know how to take charge of a kingdom and got too involved in their own little perfect lives and honestly there was not much they could have done.

Well Madame, underneath the dress she is seated atop her mechanism (And yes she has legs). This mechanism is linked to a barrel, with pins that make the arm strike the strings and cams in the center that rotate the cams back and forth.

That's amazing. Instead of bringing back Furbies let's bring back automatons!

First time I see this Unique Item. Thanks for Sharing. *****

Merveille des merveilles. ❤❤❤

Beautiful 250 year old automaton.

To think we are listening to something marie antoinette listened herself, posibly in her own room as she was just chilling.

Joueuse de Tympanon is Amazink!

Que bonito!!!!!!!!!

Today seems a miracle even to a professional musician, I can’t imagine the impression at that time.

How sweet does she play! I like it!
