This is a large clock, the ball is 6" in diameter and the length of the arm alone is 38". The statue of Brise d'Automne (autumn breeze), is after an original by Auguste Moreau (Title and Moreau are on a small brass plaque on base). The statue has never been broken, and has some tasteful touchup to spots where the finish had been rubbed off. The ball got dropped at some time and was dented near the numeral 10, and some one pushed the brass out with a sharp object, resulting in small surface bumps, and then touched up the paint (I'm being hard on this - it only shows on close inspection). The clock is otherwise original, the balls with dark green color, all numerals, suspension and other hardware intact; running. Height 39" Reserve $6000
