Description
, 8-day time/strike, GRAPE HARVEST. This is a very attractive clock of gray marble, a rams head on a central column, and flanked by two female figures, each holding one end of a grape garland, one lady with a bunch of grapes in her hand, the other with a wine glass in hers. There is some roughness to the marble along the sharp edges, but nothing beyond what is expected for a clock of this age. The marble dial is fine with some minor wear to the incised gilt numbers. The hands are original. The little ring that protects the winding hole on the strike side is missing. The beveled glass in the door is perfect. An unusual and impressive piece. Height 21.5 inches
