Description
hen on her nest atop the clock, the sides and bottom profusely carved with flowers, leaves and scrolls. There are a couple of carved tips that have been repaired, but overall the case is excellent. Problem is the movement, whose hand shaft got broken at the tip, and the repairman threaded the remaining stub and applied a spanner nut, and has it bound up so tight you cannot set the time (it does run, you just can't adjust it). Best repair is to silver solder on a new tip to the shaft and drill it for a pin. Otherwise in good original condition. Height 14 inches
