Catalog Description:

C.1875, French, Revolving Dial Clock, in the style of Louis XVI, with restorations. Note the case has been gold plated, and there is some restoration to the tiny porcelain numerals. The movement sets in the base and drives the annular dials via a driveshaft up the neck of the urn, the time indicated by the tongue of a serpent coiled around the urn. This example has 4 hand painted panels with bright floral displays in the base section, each on a white ceramic field with a floral gilt border, and outside of that a ring of aqua polychrome. The top of the urn is held in place by projections out the heads of male busts, the whole surmounted by a large pineapple. The well made 8-day bell strike movement is wound and serviced from the base. Height 16 inches
