Catalog Description:

C.1810, French, Gilt Porcelain Urn clock, with damage, but still very nice and worthy of attention. The detail on the case, with gold and cobalt blue decoration, is superb. The negatives are that the top to the urn is missing, and the left eagle was recently broken at the neck and glued back on (clean break). The silk thread movement was professionally cleaned recently and is in good running order. The engine turned dial center retains original gilding and is sharp and iridescent. The porcelain dial has a spider web at 11, but no missing pieces. One of the springs is still original and signed Bourghes, Mai 1810. With a proper restoration of the head joint, and locating a top, this would become quite valuable. Height 16.5 inches
