French Dore Figural Clock w/Silk String: the time and half hour, 8 day movement is unmarked. The 4 1/2″ porcelain dial is marked Dumont A Paris? Part of the first name is missing. The lower front has an urn with swans and a griffin on both sides. The lady figure on top has a bird on one leg and is petting a dog’s head.

(The dial is fractured; the strike does not activate. The pendulum works, but is not the proper one.)

15 1/2″ x 12″ and running at this time
