Description
Although the case has a couple of small moldings missing, this is one of the most interesting cases we have seen in a long while. Note the flying buttress bottom and the built in top with a large carved fruit basket for a finial (definitely been there from the start). There are other nicks and scrapes and the back is slightly bowed, however the original key lock is intact, with key. The Viennese movement is dirty, but well made and intact and original to the case (slide mount). Note hour hand repaired; see unusual Gothic numeral dial. For a collector who likes to work on something well made, this is the ticket. Height 54 inches
