(swinger), in good original condition. This large statue of Brise d`Automne (Autumn Breeze, signed Moreau) retains original patina in very good condition. The ball had a dent pressed out on the rear half, and there are a couple of scratches in the front half, but overall the ball is still very good with original numerals, patina and great delicate hands that retain their original gilding. Truthfully I would rather invest in a clock with these minor imperfections than one that had been totally refinished. The ball is 6" in diameter; overall height 38" $4500-5500
