Description
Although we have sold many conical pendulum clocks over the past 25 years, we have not had this particular model. A gowned lady stands holding a spool of yarn wound around a rod in her left hand and in her right she holds a string which in turn holds another spool of yarn that acts as the pendulum. Moreover, the vast majority of these are patinated spelter, while this is a good bronze model. The movement is signed by the original patent holder for this concept: Bernoux, Paris, Brevette. For folks who like unusual French items, this is sure to garner a lot of attention. Height 29 inches
