Description
The movement is a well jeweled 8-day lever, rear wind and set, and is running. The dial is violet enamel over damascene silver, offset with white roses and ribbons, and with a gilt chapter ring and moon style hands. There are some nearly invisible hairlines in the enamel, apparent only on viewing with a magnifier; the leather bound book is a bit worn at the seams, front cover separated about 1", but still intact, with gold foil decorations (with wear), and the spine labeled clearly: "Livre D'Heures", in block letters. This was a very expensive ladies gift when new. Wide 4 1/2" , ht 5"
