with open escapement on the dial. It is unusual to see this type of dial on figural clocks of French origin, and it is quite eye catching. Above the clock is a large grape press, and to the right of the clock a young man, bowing a violin (bow has been replaced and entire musician brushed with gold paint); the balance of the case and gilding are intact. Dial with info: Brevete a Paris. Time only; runs fine; note clock winds to the left. Height 12"
