Description
Condition: This is an interesting piece in that someone fitted an old Japanese balance wheel movement to the case (this movement was common in Jap'n gallery clocks around 1910) and modified it for a blinking or moving eyes and had a dial painted to complete the change. It has a lot of action with the balance wheel visible and the moving eyes. Visually very interesting if originality is not your priority. In our best judgment, the modification was done in China several years ago. Height 20.75 inches
