DESCRIPTION:
Austrian, 2-Day, time and strike mantel automaton, a cherub hammering at the anvil when the clock strikes, silk susp.
CONDITION:
overall very good original condition. Austrian clocks are often neglected and this one has survived well. There are hairlines in the porcelain dial and some repairs at the attaching holes. Although we tend to see the grand sonnerie models with double animation {examples in Kaltenbock's "Viennese Timepieces", pages 167-9}, the hour strike automatons do not turn up that often. Ht. 16"
