- Lot Description
A 24-Bloom Rose Bush Automaton. England: Granville Taylor (Faust), ca. 2010. Largest model of this automaton device, being an all-brass faux rose bush resting in a handsome wooden pot that slowly blooms real roses on command, which may then be cut from the plant and presented to the spectators as keepsakes of the performance. Wind-up clockwork mechanism concealed in the hardwood pot fabricated from a modified brass gramophone motor. A few leaves bent and with minor chips to finish, but overall, very good working condition. Height 49? With wooden ?scrimmed? packing case. Two hand-made modern versions of the venerable Petrie & Lewis ?Flowering Rose Bush? of the 1930s and 40s, and one of but a handful manufactured by illusionist Granville Taylor from a design of his own conception.
