Antique French Gothic mantle clock with water automaton feature. The Gothic case with patinated bronze against ormolu is typical of the period circa 1840. The ormolu is of fire/mercury gilding. The dial is fine, and the clock stands upon four ormolu toupee feet. "Water" flows from the mask disapearing through reeds into a heavy Baccarat rectangular bowl. The clock movement is an 8 day, silk suspension movement. The automaton feature runs very well indeed. 37cm High by 14cm Wide and 14cm Deep
