Modelled as a pair of tapering columns, each with a turned finial and sconce, supporting a drum surmounted by a figure of a standing pagod, above the signed 3 1/2in circular white enamel dial with Roman chapters and pierced gilt hands, the drum-shaped movement with silk suspension and countwheel strike on a bell, on a D-shaped plinth with six turned chained baluster columns, on bun feet
26.5 cm wide; 39cm high
CONDITION REPORT
There is a sunburst pendulum and a steel key. In overall good condition. There is a small chip to the outer edge of the dial at the I o’clock, but not visible with the bezel closed. The staff which the pagod holds is likely replaced. The movement appears clean and is capable of functioning, subject to a service. The bell has been cracked and repaired.
