Description from the seller

Impressive mantel clock with sculptures on each side of the mechanism, depicting a child who, in one hand, holds a vessel that presents him to his mother. She pours water for him with a pitcher.
A large medallion in green marble or green onyx, surrounded by a crown of flowers
The clock features lovely, original shapes with all its ornaments; the photos show the beauty of this timepiece
The mechanism is complete with the balance wheel, but it will nevertheless need to be serviced to operate correctly
