The white metal statue was brass plated some time ago and has a few tiny bubbles where plating solution got trapped. The cherub's left arm has a crack at the shoulder which is easily overlooked. Statue bears the signature of L. Gregoire. The clock arm itself is well made, with fired porcelain dial, and with original hands and winder. When you first lift this, you will think it is bronze, owing to the heavy marble base with concrete filler (is old); base will have to be removed for shipment. Height 30.5 inches
