This is a very attractive clock, grapes on the dial surround, and the pendulum with opposed pegasus with web feet, and the large bottom with 2 children on a see saw, pivoted in the center so that they move as the pendulum swings (setting them up can be tricky). The robust movement with anchor escapement and simple calendar. The porcelain dial with some hairlines, but no chips, and with a cartouche of the selling dealer: Tempier a Moulins. With 2 large iron weights that can just be seen on either side of the pendulum. Height 55 inches
