Description
The female statue bears a shield with the title cast in: "La Science", the side of the base bears the artists mark: Aug Moreau, and the artists name and statue title repeated on a small brass plaque. Miss "Science" is holding the swing clock in her right hand and cradling a terrestrial globe with her left arm. The diameter of the ball is 7 inches, and it is in good order with bright gilding on the numerals and mounts; some minor dings in the ball; top half of suspension block has been re-newed. It seems in every auction we have one above average swing clock, and this is that one!! An uncommon and good looking example. Height 41 inches
