Description:

Viennese Gilt-metal and Enamel Figural Clock, Austria, late 19th century, modeled as hinged globe-form clock case with finial of a cherub riding on the back of a swan, supported aloft by an allegorical figure of Atlas standing on a trumpet-form base with four paw feet, movement inscribed Angeli in Wien, ht. 13 in.

Enamel and metal work all good to the case. The dial needs to be properly reattached to the body and has possibly had a slight retouch of the enamel to an edge. the clock does work although we do not guarantee how well it works.
