Description
Interestingly, the title (on a plaque at the base of the clock) translates to The Grape, while it is clear that cherubic angel is presenting the lady with a whole basket full of freshly picked grapes. The well made round French bell strike movement is signed Japy. All pieces set on green/white veined marble with gilt feet. The patinated bronze over white metal finish has some wear in the high spots but is overall in very good condition. We sold the sister to this clock set (on pink marble bases) in May of 2000, lot 78 for $550+. It was missing the tops to the urns. Height 14 1/2"
