Austrian, Franz Appoth, in Wein, Laternluhr, Miniature, with 4 inch porcelain dial, 4 day duration weight driven, in a mahogany veneer 9-lite case with satinwood banding, c1820

there is a small veneer chip on right side of the bottom of the removable hood (dovetailed onto the throat). There is some minor abrasion around the winding hole of the porcelain dial. Steel pendulum rod is highly polished and brass bob is smooth and fine (could stand polishing). Dial is signed as in headline; careful not to clean off the signature, as it is not fired on. Although movement is dirty, better to know that it is original and old; runs OK through the dirt, but would benefit from a proper cleaning. Ht 29.5"
