Catalog Description:

C.1885, German, Panting Dog novelty clock. This one has double animation. We sold a later version of this clock last October (lot 602, $2500+); its case was of cast white metal, while this version is 100% carved wood (we think a bonus) The dog looking out the window top center has his tongue going in and out and the old man at left is shaking his head while looking through the cottage to the amorous pair on the right. The figures are painted gesso over wood. It is unusual that we should have two such similar clocks turn up. Height 6 1/2"
