Reproduction Ferris wheel gravity timepiece, 8 day, time only, weight driven balance wheel movement in a glazed wood case with applied brass ornaments, polychrome enamel dial, a small barometer dial below, and alcohol thermometer adjacent, all surmounted by a patinated brass lion. Case with a few small dents on the back side is in very good overall condition. Nice patina on the cast metal elements. Dial with brilliants is in fine condition. Comes with a set of steel balls. She steel balls are loaded onto an inclined plane in the top front compartment of the clock from which they role down to fill the chambers of the Ferris wheel assembly located in the rear of the clock. The weight of the balls causes the wheel to rotate which in turn drives the mechanism. The balls drop from the Ferris wheel into the base of the clock which is accessed from a drawer in the front.
