Description
95. CHEIN LARGE FELIX FROLIC | Extremely rare with only a handful known, this example is possibly unique as all of the figures have articulated motion whereas the four small figures are fixed on the other examples that have surfaced, an oversized piece - the large Felix figure alone stands at 9" h., a very fragile piece which was reportedly produced for only one year, 1926, involved articulated action causes the four smaller figures to rock back and forth while the large central Felix's legs sway as figure rocks. Ex.
