In keeping with French practice in the late 19th century, the porcelain is embellished with a French eight-day movement, with an anchor escapement and a bell strike at half past the hour. The case consists of the vase, a cap with a winged finial, and a wooden base in typical Oriental style.
Dimensions: 50 cm overall height x 20 cm diameter.

The case is in good condition, with minor signs of wear consistent with age; there is only one restoration on the lid, near the finial. The clock will be supplied serviced and in working order. See less
