Condition: This clock has been nicely cleaned and retains original gilding and patina. Movements are running fine, both time and windmill movement. Quite an eye catcher. Note that the automaton motor can only be wound by tipping the clock back, and it appears that the automaton may have been added (it is old, but maybe from another item) Large size 25 inches tip to bottom.
