Description
This walnut and ebony trimming model at first glance looks very nice but it has some serious shortcomings. The dial paper is new. The time only movement is out of a 30-day wall model and the calendar mechanism is a reproduction. The stenciled glass calendar dial is new. The one good thing is the pendulum is old. With the proper movement and bell it would still be an attractive clock, for less than one in original condition. For reference, see Ly's book titled Calendar Clocks, pages 132-33. See also lot 392b. Height 20 1/2"
