Description
8 day, round movement, outside count wheel, silk thread suspension. Half hour and hour bell strike 3 1/2 inch dial needs to be cleaned or resilvered. Cast bezel is very decorative. Bronze case is 26 1/2 inches high, and 17 1/2 inches wide. The base of the clock and feet are decorated in gothic tracery. The clock figure is called the "Philosopher". There are books on top of the tower and the figure is holding a scroll. The books are labeled "Philosophy and Astronomy". Pieces will need to be tightened down by the new owner, was disassembled for shipment to me. I see this caliber clock selling for $7500 in antique stores and almost that on ebay.
