Description
A Continental Gilt Bronze and Porcelain Figural Mantel Clock
19th Century
Height 18 inches.
Condition
The clock has not been examined by an horologist. The works, face and back sit askew/out of place in case. Due to this instability, the back door is difficult to open, though the works appear intact. Appears to be over-wound. Upon manual advancement of the clock hands, the movement chimes appropriately at the half hour and hour. The porcelain mostly in fair condition with small chips to tips of flowers throughout. The figure is missing the tip of her proper right thumb and her palm appears to have glue residue from a previously re-attached, though now missing article. There is evident restoration to her proper right arm with a hairline visible where the arm meets the sleeve. The other arm and proper left leg also exhibiting retouch, the paint discolored in a slight yellow-ish hue. Exhibiting a hairline in the dial, through the '2' towards the center.
