Catalog Description:

C.1890, Swiss, Mini Tri-Fold Screen with clock (watch movement). At some time in its life, the key wind watch that came in this gave up and a good repairman installed a later stem wind/set watch movement (works OK). Also there is a single crack in the enamel in the right panel, straight across through the young man's face (no pieces missing). The dorandeacute; bronze case is in the rococo style, asymmetrical and right and left frames are different in shape. The center panel shows a reclining couple in formal clothes, left panel lady only; right panel, gentleman only. All panels are translucent red enamel over a silver background with tiny embossed blossoms. This is the smallest one of these we have seen, only 4" wide by 3" tall High quality despite shortcomings
