profusely decorated with repousse pressed brass trim, and in excellent original condition. The suspension spring failed in transit. Well made round French movement is original to the case and numbered 893 and with matching number on pendulum. Pendulum with a cherub and dog in center and the grid flanked by two standing cherubs. Small chip in dial by right winding hole (not objectionable). See fine pressed vine trim on all 4 barley twist columns, and note top has a little warp that might need sanding flat again. This is about the flashiest of these I've seen. Height 21 inches Reserve $650
