This clock has a nice Victorian "whistling' mechanism, but the bellows are leaking some and the volume is weak. The bird has a nice twisting action to his head, however, some of the neck feathers have worn away. The floral branches are new silk, recently replaced. When they are crispy these fetch $2000, so our estimate reflects condition; Height 22'
