C.1890, France, Animated Windmill clock and barometer, from the French Industrial Series. Condition: excellent original condition with great patina, just the right amount of oxidation. The windmill turns slowly, powered by spring motor in the base, wound through small gilt doorway. The small platform time movement ticks but will need cleaning; aneroid barometer is complete, but sluggish. Most collectors would prefer to find an item in this untouched condition. For additional information on this clock, see Derek Roberts' book titled Mystery, Novelty and Fantasy Clocks, page 265. Height 19 inches
