• Lot Description
  A silvered round circle segment has Roman numerals for all chapters, with fleur de lis between each chapter, at the two and one-half minute mark. All minute hash marks on a continuous circle below the chapter markers, triangular bold line at each chapter. Below the triangular markers, on center, are arabic numerals in increments of five. Blued fleur de lis style minute/hour hands. Above one o'clock lies the chime shutoff. Above eleven is the fine adjustment for pendulum length; to advance or retard the timing. The tombstone shaped dial area, is decorated with winged putto, and intertwinding floral vines. The solid oak case, at the front corners, has a pilaster like depiction of pan, flowing into a floral garland. Hoofed feet, several masks, and a highly decorated mask emanating sun rays, a possible religious reference, are on each flank of the lower case. A plinth rises from the case top, with a oil lamp shaped finial at the acme. At the four corners of the flat section of the case top, is a miniature version of the finial. All decorations are cast brass. The movement is rectangular heavy brass plates, with double hammers and double coiled flat wire gongs. The clock strikes on the hour and the quarter hour. Marked D.R. Patent, an indication of German manufacture. Comes with matching oak wall bracket, with stylized supports and brass mask and putto decorations.

  Condition
