Description

Condition: there are ever so minor losses of gilding where the bronze is showing through, not at all noticeable in the foto. The quality of the bronze work is outstanding with very fine detail on the clothing and accessories. Eyes and lips are well defined and smooth. A good example of the artistic influence on clock styles in France. Signed movement [Durand] is clean and running. Height 15 inches
