Description
Most of the gilding has been polished away by a fastidious maid, so you are seeing polished brass in the foto (there is some gilding visible in crevices, along with dried polish). The style of the case is quite pleasant, a flaming urn at top with a pair of doves, down to a set of busts that are half man and half goat, then lots of swirls and acanthus swags leading to the base. Note the base should have 6 feet - 2 on either end are missing. The well made bell strike movement carries only the number 248, and has been professionally cleaned and is in running order. Perfect porcelain dial with cobalt blue numerals and fancy hands. Height 18 inches
