Description
10" (25 cm.) The heavy cast metal mantel clock features a centered clock tower with pagoda finial and porcelain clock face. Standing on one side of the tower, peering through a window, is a uniformed soldier, and at the other side is a woman posed as though waving goodbye. When wound, the soldier is designed to nod his head back and forth, and the woman to wave her arms. Also arranged on the base is a bulldog who is "attacking" the soldier's rifle, a child fountain, and a basket with little doll. Original key included, mechanism needs adjustment and may not be complete, mechanism not functioning, woman's arm needs repair. Mid-1800s, a superb luxury mechanical clock well worthy of restoration.
