Description
The movement is in the ball at the bottom of the arm, and powers the arm, suspended by a normal suspension spring. A separate miniature gravity movement is in the center of the glass dial, with a tiny pendulum and ratchet that advance the well balanced hands with each swing of the arm. This clock has been professionally restored, and the ball and statues attractively refinished; there is an old crack near the base of the spelter statue, visible from the rear (does not go all the way through). It is in running order. Numerals on dial are gold leaf, but appear brown because of back lighting in photo. Dial diameter is 7 inches (17.8 cm), overall height is 24 1/2" Will be disassembled for shipment.
