atop a white alabaster case, with an 8-day time only pendulum movement, and with a porcelain dial with gilt brass center and case adornments. There have been a couple of minor repairs to the bicycle (rear sprocket soldered on), but it retains original gilding (about 95 percent there). The male figure is dressed for riding on a cool day, and the bicycle has nice detail (pedals, chain and spoked wheels). Note pendulum is tied inside the case. Movement is clean and running. Alabaster is soft and fragile, but other than minor corner wear, this case is excellent. Height 15"
