Catalog Description:

C.1900, French, Limoge Type, Porcelain Figural clock in very good original condition. This was our most difficult clock to photograph because the rococo style case changes directions everywhere. The case has blue crossed forks trademark. A lady in waiting is reclining pensively, with cupid at her side. His quiver of arrows lays on the ground and he is playing a flute. She has a bread stick in her left hand. Facial features are in fine detail. Note 2 small defects: cupid's flute has its end broken away and also his little finger; we looked at this for a week until we saw the damage; the rest is intact (and all fingers and toes on both figures are individual) Fancy porcelain dial with polychrome floral designae.see close up. With a miniature French platform movement and finely chased and gilded hands. Height 11" Expected to attract interest beyond the reserve of $650
