in very good original condition. This is a love temple theme with a central fountain and two doves, flanked by a young girl with butterfly wings and opposite a young winged boy. Except for years of dirt built up on the ormolu, this would be excellent; it should respond well to cleaning (with solution). The movement is a small French platform timepiece with gilt hands and a fancy dial with polychrome decorations. The tip of the minute hand with an old repair; overall very nice quality. Height 12"
