Nr. 144 CUM
9-inch Comtoise clock with pinwheel escapement (amant) and folded pendulum from around 1825/30, featuring the very common cornucopia motif. Embossed decorative plate composed of three parts.

Alarm mechanism, half-hour strike, and full-hour strike on a bell with repetition. Enamel dial with arcaded minute track (à la Dauphine) and indication of quarter hours, signed: Veyron à St. Etienne. Polychrome floral painting in typical metal oxide colors.
