Description
, green onyx and brass with cloisonne enamel, surmounted by a large ormolu lion, as-found. This clock has suffered some damage to the top slab of onyx (corner chip, and a poor effort to repair it). Still you could obtain onyx and cut a replacement. Last, the pendulum is a simulated mercury unit from an American clock, and although it is cosmetically fine, should be replaced as well. The well made gong striking movement bears the signature as above, and with fancy porcelain dial and detailed hands. This would be a $1200 clock if perfect. Height 18 inches
