C.1890, French, Silvered Spelter Figural clock, an unusual design with young boys and masks, one boy holding a harp, and the other a writing instrument; the case surmounted by a large urn with two young boys seated on the side handles. In the past, the case has been disassembled and the basic tower scrubbed to bare white metal. The mounts retain about half to two thirds of their silvering. The dial is silvered as well, as are the hands, and the time would be easier to see if the hands were darker. Has a good 8-day, bell strike movement, signed H and F, Paris, just overhauled. The case is all sound and unbroken, but would benefit from refinishing. Height 22'
