This is a nice striking model in immaculate condition, with original bright yellow gilding, the movement recently restored in a professional shop. The cherub at top holds a brass hook, from which the pendulum hangs via thread suspension; the pendulum moves in a rotary motion that circumscribes the shape of a cone while running. Porcelain dial is perfect, and with original moon hands; excellent example. Height 14'
