C.1890, French, Automaton Clock, gilt spelter with a secondary movement, tripped by the clocks strike train, that advances a carousel below on the hour and half hour. Condition: Overall very good condition, with 5 original (and replaceable) cards for the carousel, these 5 include scenes from: Rome, Greece, Niagara Falls, New England and a Sailing Brig. Would likely have been sold as a nice wedding gift and the happy couple could choose cards that reflected their honeymoon trip. Note the cherubs at the sides are pulling the "curtains" open to reveal the scene behind. Height 16.5 inches
