Cheer Up, Pluck Up", the statue after an original by Claudine, and in excellent original condition. The central piece on a heavy mottled piece of marble with some small chips along the bottom edge that are only noticeable on close examination. The side pieces on matching round marble bases and with anchors, chain and hawser line around the urns and with cast in images of sailing vessels on each side. Although we have seen the main clock piece, we have never seen this as a complete set before. The well made bell strike movement uses a foot long pendulum with unique bob to clear the close confines of the tower (pend at podium) Height 30 inches
