Catalog Description:

C.1820, French, Chopin, a Paris, Skeleton Form Mantel clock, in excellent original condition. This is a very well made clock, and retains its original gilding in bright condition. The ormolu "case" is 2-tiered, the round base with 4 rope trimmed bun feet, rising to 4 slender columns with fluted urn bases, to the second tier, which is held in place by 4 well detailed finials with screw bases. The round movement in the center is supported on two inverted "Y" yokes. The porcelain dial is still quite good, with some small touch up in the outer margin (hard to see at all), and with original finely chased hands, the whole surmounted by a spread wing eagle with floral sprays at his sides. Although this clock will run fine in a display cabinet, you could probably find a round dome that would fit; it would need to be about 6.5 inches diameter and 17 inches tall (or larger). Height 16.25 inches
