Description
This is a work of art, a hand painted scene on a fired porcelain panel serving as the front of the clock. The scene shows an attractive wench pouring wine to an armed reveler after success at battle. He is complete with sword, knee pants and hat, obviously enjoying his 10th glass of wine, the floor with three empty wine flasks. The case retains original finish, access through a rear hinged door, and with original numbered pendulum that matches the number on the movement (953). Strikes the hours and halves on a coiled wire gong. Height 14 inches
