This is a very interesting piece, a tall bronze yard arm mounted to a light green onyx base extends up over an anchor and compass, the arm with 2 pulleys and the block with 2 pulleys allowing you to raise and lower the clock at will by pulling on the chain at right. The miniature round French clock movement is contained in a hemisphere with the rear hinged for winding, setting and service. The movement is signed Ch. Hour, France, and with number 3090 on component parts. The gilded dial has a diameter of 4 inches, time indicated with original spade hands. Overall Height 18 inches
