This clock must have spent its life under a dome, as the original frosty yellow gilding is still very bright (there is minor separation of gold from the base metal in a couple of places). The case depicts a young girl holding a long skein of yarn. (the top end of the skein has come loose from her hand but can be simply re-attached, also her left index finger has been missing for some time, only visible on close inspection). The well made bell strike movement is in good order, and with excellent dial and original hands. Height 12 1/2"
