France, a good late 19th century figural conical pendulum clock, on a turned griotte marble base with plaque engraved "Abeille par J. Causse", supporting a patinated spelter winged female figure with tulips, her right hand reaching for a flower and the left held aloft and holding a suspension with three chains attached to a spherical blue timepiece with stylized roman numerals, fancy gilt hands, and containing an 8 day timepiece movement, the continuously rotating escape pinion with lever bearing on a rod extending from the suspension, and causing the clock to trace a conical path
