the swinging arm held aloft by double female statues. The movement is in the star studded ball at the bottom of the arm, and powers the arm, suspended by a normal suspension spring. A separate miniature gravity movement is in the center of the glass dial, with a tiny pendulum and ratchet that advance the well balanced hands with each swing of the arm. This clock has been professionally restored, and the ball and statues attractively refinished. It is in running order. Numerals on dial are gold leaf, but appear brown because of back lighting in photo. Dial diameter is 7 inches (17.8 cm), overall height is 26" Reserve $15000
