C.1900, English, attributed to Thomas Cole, engraved and gilt strut clock, with a hand painted dial scene of a cherub in the clouds, overlooking a music book and tambourine and 2 doves. Condition: set and winding knobs are absent, however both functions can be accomplished with a key. Movement ticks. The porcelain dial is perfect and the fine quality of the engraving is without equal. Some wear to gilding in the high spots. A virtually identical strut clock, signed by Cole has been known to achieve nearly 20,000 dollars. Ht 11.6"
