BID ON THE-SALEROOM
A superb 19th century French automaton clock. Having a 3.5-inch Roman dial, the two-train movement with silk suspension outside countwheel-striking on a bell, stamped E.Ls and numbered 338, the fine ormolu-mounted case with lighthouse and castle surmount flanking a realistic crushed silk sea, the tall-masted ship rising and falling plus pitching side to side on a cam, over rockwork surround with automaton winding arbor, the case cast with sea serpents, shells, foliate scrollwork and wreath, upon conforming base, 14.5 wide x 17.5 high, (37cm x 44.5cm), with pendulum plus original key cast with maritime scene matching the surmount
Dial is tarnished, requires cleaning and re-silvering, hands slightly rusted. Movement, two small holes to right side of back plate, otherwise appears sound but is not tested. Automaton part of movement is operational. Case, the crushed silk 'sea' has come away from surround, the cast ormolu is in good order but the bronze colored rectangular carcass is slightly pale and would benefit from re-patternation. - Shipping Info
