Antique Cloisonne Cherub Bronze Clock Jewels

Here is a precious and exquisite little 19th century gem.  It is a wonderful clock that sits on a marble terracotta colored base.  The central column is patinated metal and leaning against the column is a winged cherub in a hugely classical design having wings of an angel and holding a torch.  The patina is very rich and wonderful and the detail is exquisite.  The clock itself as you can see is cloisonne with a classical applied motif.  The clock face is enameled porcelain surrounded by rhinestones.  It is a French type movement circa 1840 – 1850.  It has a cylinder escapement with pierced and engraved hands.  The enamel dial is decorated with floral swags.  The clock is running and it is an eight day.  This clock has been inspected by Mr. Young of Belfast, Maine – my famous Scottish clock master.  He has given it a clean bill of health and as you may notice by the pictures the original key is present.  It measures 8” at highest x 3 3/8” at widest x 3” at deepest. What a beautiful clock for the night stand or desk.  It is so exquisite in every way that putting it into words is not only impossible but it will never do it justice – I know I’m getting a little crazy but I just can’t help my self. Striving For ExcellenceIt isn’t brilliance or just getting the breaks,It is consistent attention to & honest respect for the Customer.
