French Brass & Spelter Clock w/Urn Top: the time and half hour striking movement is signed Japy Freres and numbered 5004. The porcelain dial is 4″ with minutes noted. The case is brass topped; it has lion and classic head masks plus grape vines around the lidded top. The case’s lower section is white metal.

(The dial has a large chip around the right hand key slot; the strike is weak; the casting job for the case left some corners and other places looking like they are chipped; the back access door is missing.)

15″ x 12″ and running at this time
