苏富比职员在瑞士日内瓦的拍卖预览会上,展示了瑞士技师Henri Maillardet在1820年制造的机械毛虫。
目前所知的Maillardet制机械毛虫共有6只,其中2只镶有钻石、绿宝石、红宝石和绿松石,苏富比将拍卖的就是2只中的1只。
18世纪末到19世纪初,机械装置在欧洲大行其道。著名制表师Pierre Jaquet-Droz与儿子Jean-Frederic Leschot制作了会鸣唱的机械鸟,以及各种机械玩偶。
Maillardet曾在伦敦为Jaquet-Droz的分公司制作机械品。他制作的这只机械毛虫将在本月16日于日内瓦拍卖,估价高达450,000瑞士法郎(S$596,587)。

A SOTHEBY’ employee displays a rare automaton caterpillar, probably made by Henri Maillardet in 1820, during an auction press preview in Geneva, Switzerland.
Six automaton caterpillars by Maillardet are known to exist and only two of the six are studded with diamond, emeralds, rubies, and turquoise - this being one of them.

From late 18th century to early 19th century, automaton was all the rage in Europe. Renowned watchmaker Pierre Jaquet-Droz and his son Jean-Frederic Leschot built many mechanical birds and dolls.
Maillardet spent a period of time working in Jaquet-Droz’s shop in London. His rare caterpillar will be offered on auction on Nov 16, with a pre-sale estimate of up to CHF450,000 (S$596,587).
