This is a large and heavy clock (special shipping will be required). To the left of the dial is a child with a book and to the right, a child with a globe. Reclining atop the clock, is a lady (their mother?) with a branch of gilded leaves in her hands. The only minuses on this clock are some minor repairs to the dial, which is lettered in cobalt blue on white porcelain. The original movement has a silk thread suspension, as proper for the period, and with count wheel strike on a bell; both the movement and dial are signed Raingo Freres, Paris. Finely chased and gilded hands indicate the time. Exquisite detail throughout. Width 24", ht 20"
