AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Impressive mantel clock with sculptures on either side of the mechanism depicting a child holding in his hands a bird’s nest that presents him to his mother. The clock has pretty original shapes with all its ornaments: feet shaped like lion’s paws, birds on the front, and a face in a medallion; the photos show you the beauty of this clock. It works perfectly and will simply need to be wound, as for shipping it will be dismantled to ensure safe transport.
