How About a Monkey Pastry Chef Serving The Head of a Cat?

It's Christmas 1880, what do you get the child that has everything? How about nightmares delivered via an automated monkey pastry-chef that's serving the head of an equally nightmarish cat in a pastry pie.

Made by the renowned French toy-makers Roullet & Decamps, around 1880. The automaton works by winding up a mechanism on the back, so that the monkey blinks his eyes, moves his head, snarls menacingly and lifts the pastry crust to reveal his macabre dish.
