Catalog Description:

C.1840, French, Ormolu Figural clock in very good original condition. Many of these that come our way have had the gilding polished off or are missing an item of ormolu trim, however, this one is complete and sound, showing a 12th century king/warrior in chain mail and robe, laying his crown at an alter. At his hip is a sword, and at his feet, an axe and shield. All gilding is original and bright. The well made silk thread movement retains its original pendulum, and strikes the hours on a bell. The porcelain dial has some small chips by the time winding hole, but they do not go into the copper base. Anyone collecting French furniture would find this a nice accent piece. Height 15.5 inches
