Description
clock in the Louis XVI style. Much of the gilding has worn away and the rear cover has been replaced. However, the overall condition is very good, the porcelain plaque of maidens in a garden, including an angel and winged cherub, and the dial with polychrome floral decorations. Fancy cast hands are intact. A miniature scene of two lovers is on the small urn at top (some crazing to finish on urn). A French piece like this in bronze would command $2000, however this American version is much less. Movement seems to tick OK. Height 14 inches
