in an unusual motif, a Swiss falconer with bird and trumpet. This clock has been polished to mostly brass, a little gilding left in the crevices, and the falconer has been broken off and soldered (and loose again). The dial too is filled with hairlines; silk thread movement is sound and running - striking on a bell. If you are into hunting scenes, this will merit restoration. Height 19" Reserve $1000
