DESCRIPTION: European version of the "flying pendulum" clock. This is an interesting clock, in that an odd movement has been converted to power a center shaft which flails the flying pendulum from post to post, while the time portion of the movement is regulated by a short pivoted pendulum with adjustable bob.
CONDITION: although nicely copied from an original, the case to this clock is not old. Cherub and some of the trim are re-cast. Dial appears old or period. Hands made in an older style. Ticks ok, animation works but needs adjustment to keep it going. Ht 12"
ESTIMATE: $500 - $750
PRICE SOLD: $375
