Japy Freres black marble figural, ca. 1880.
The black marble case is 17 inches wide and 13.5 inches
tall with a figure of Galileo(?) and his assorted paraphernalia; he may be in the original finish.
The marble case shows considerable
pitting along the edges and on top.
The porcelain dial is behind a flat glass; note that the hands do not match.
pendule de Paris movement is out of plumb but will run after adjustment; it strikes the nickel bell on the hours and half-hours.
