The case is patinated bronze with gilt lion, dial and top finial, and with fine detail. The well made 1-day clock movement is a delicate time and alarm (cylinder escape), actuating a small rear wound musical movement that is built into the case, with levers on the side for shutting it off, or playing at will. The automated fountain (rotating glass) has a robust movement that powers the water fountain for several hours. A neat little clock, Height 14Ó $2,200-$2,800
