Well, a picture is worth a thousand words on this clock. The oversize crystal regulator has broad radiused sides, top and bottom, every surface gilded and with fine engraving that has been filled with multicolor enamels of the most colorful nature. The two urns convert to candle stands buy simply inverting their tops, and they are similarly engraved and enameled, all pieces with round ball feet. The well made French movement has additional enamel decorations on the inner and outer bezels, pendulum, and with open escapement as well. It doesn't get any better than this for unusual Deco pieces. Height 19 1/2"
