French Dore & Silk String Clock: the time and half hour bell striking movement is unmarked. The 3 1/2″ silvered dial is marked, but not legible and has a wreath form bezel. No glass on front or back. The case has the figure of a male angel holding a moth and torch; his bow and flower are on the opposite side; below is floral garlands and gothic designs.

(The dial is now darkened; the bow may have been strung at one time, but not now; the case needs a bit of polishing and has no damage or repair.)

20″ x 13 1/2″ and running at this time
