This is a very flashy Louis XVI style clock, with well detailed panels front and sides and with 2 additional cameos to the sides and porcelain dial with cupid in the center and Roman numerals on raised shields. Most of the original case gilding is intact; some minor absence on the high spots. The well made bell strike movement is by Japy, Paris, with medal of honor trademark. Pendulum is a replacement. Movement appears to have been serviced and clock is running and striking. Height 18.5 inches
