reflecting the enamel over copper work of country artisans during the reign of Ferdinand I. This and the next lot are truly exceptional pieces in terms of "lots going on". A reversed cup base is decorated with 4 miniature scenes, each separated by a cherub with a blue and red bib. Then a large round drum supports a miniature elephant with 2 monkeys on his back plus the clock itself, surmounted by an eagle. The movement is an early verge/ chain fusee from a watch. These miniatures were meant as a keepsake, and often utilized whatever type movement the artisan could come up with. Height 7" (18cm)
