This truely unique piece is an antique carriage clock. We have NEVER seen one quite like this though. Made of Brass Glass and hand painted porcelian! The piece has almost a Greek theme to it as it has pillars on all four corners and nudes painted throughout. The actual face of the clock is a pinted floral wreath with a pair of kissing doves. Chimes on the hour as well. The brass has a magnificent patina to it and the paintings are in the kind of shape you would expect from a new piece no chips cracking crazing nothing! There is also a little button on the top that allows you to ring the chime whenever you want. The top is glass alloing you to see the movement in action. All the sides are glass as well. The most curious and unique part about this clock is the second dial which has hour markers but runs backwards!! This is simply put one of the neatest pieces weve ever had and whoever wins will be truely happy with they e decision to bid.
