Incredible color and very nice condition - bright, highly detailed.

Royal blue, sky blue, green, black, gold, ochre...a gorgeous mix of color on a substantial copper plate.

Would have come from an exceptional desk clock of the era, likely from a top-tier jeweler - think Cartier, Asprey, J. E. Caldwell, Tiffany and the like.

Likely French or Swiss manufacture - pedigreed for sure.

3.75" by 3.75" square.

Presented on a heavy brass period correct easel, as if with a small painting - a great combo.

In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...

It was just too beautiful to pass up!

My husband and I love clocks and watches, so this form is one we cherish. And, the idea that time is art - and the keeping of it should be artful - is a worthy reminder in any great room.

And truly beautiful enamel...with these colors?! It's just too special. See less
