Gebruder Bing Swing w/Monkey & Boy Circa 1902

A remarkable example of an early XX century automaton from the Gerbruder Bing stable. 

Our finely hand-painted example of this child's swing featuring an elegant Edwardian boy perfectly synchronized with a cheeky monkey. When fully wound up, the swinging pendulum provides sufficient kinetic energy to power the animated movement for some considerable time. 

Length 20 cm.
