French Figural Clock w/Japy Freres 1853 Movement: time and half hour bell striking with a 3 1/2″ porcelain dial. The white metal, brass and porcelain case has a relaxed young Bacchus on top, rams heads, grape and acanthus designs.

(Repaired dial; it strikes, but the bell is not connected. There is a bit of wear and darkening of the metal finish.)

14 1/2″ x 13″ and running at this time
