Original Description:
This is an incredibly rare Antique French clown doll circa 1880s.   Doll appears to have a creamy white bisque face, a mouth jaw reticulated as an automaton, super cool expressive face.  We don't want to damage anything, feel see coiled wires above the wood legs joining legs to the hips.
We are not certain of the doll artist, we think Pierrot French Automaton Mechanic Leopold Lambert is best description, noting the designs on the cheeks, the squirrel or what...ever it is, and the horse, looks very distinctive Pierrot.  Perhaps this could have been made by Bru, Jumeau or some other French doll maker.   The tag added later says it is an 11 inch Pierrot Puppet glass eyes old wood.
Clothes appear original, silk, sewn on, some a bit dirty and tattered. especially left leg and right arm.  You can see the doll's wooden substructure under the tattered clothing especially around the hip area.  The arms feel attached with straight wire under the clothing, and the legs feel like they are attached with coiled wire. 
The nose has damage to the tip,  there is paint loss here or there, some material or something missing by the leg as shown in one picture.  Not sure if there is damage on the hands, look blocky and a bit rough.  Please examine the pictures for full condition report, we tried to point out what we saw.  
We cannot make the doll legs straighten without perhaps forcing it, not really sure and don't want to damage anything so we did not try to straighten doll.  It is very happy to be a sitter.  That being said, we measured doll from top of hat straight down to back of foot heal, and that distance was approximately 11 inches tall.
 The distance from finger tip across to finger tip width is approximately 8 inches wide, and approximately 2 1/2 inches thick if you lay doll on back measure up from ground to top of chest/ yellow button)
If you push on the doll's chest, it causes the jaw to move and the arms to come together, as you can see in one picture.  The eyes do not move.
Also, as you can see in another picture if you look for it, this doll comes with a metal wire item that looks like maybe was used as a display stand / holder or was part of the automaton, or perhaps was unrelated, but was with the doll and will stay with the doll.  
Please let us know if you have any questions.  Please let us know if you have any more information.
