Description
The statue was sold in the January 2004 auction because it got separated from this base when put in storage down Texas way. So now we have a huge heavy green onyx base, with large metal feet, that will accommodate about any statue you want to put on it. French 8 day, round, bell strike movement, is signed by, "A. D. Mougin". It is complete, running, but no pendulum. Porcelain dial with painted garland of flower, heavy beveled glass in the sash. Base is 15.5 inches wide, 9.5 inches high. It no doubt took a fall at some time and damaged the onyx around the back right leg, and the top where the statue sits. It is back together soundly but could be done oh so much better by one of these people today that do remarkable repairs to onyx and porcelain. It would be an awesome clock with the right statue.
