This remarkable, large, figural clock depicts a cherub with girl atop a column hung with laurels. Sculpted by Auguste Moreau and with a Japy Freres Honneur clock movement, this spelter cased clock has the appearance of bronze. Measures 27 1/2"H X 12"W. The bezel and pendulum is missing and the children are loose on the base. There is some corrosion. See Photos. Starts up but does not keep proper time over an extended period of time.
