AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Two JVE clock figurines, a special set, designed as traditional itinerant clock sellers. Both figures are equipped with a mechanical clockwork on the chest with Roman numerals and a pendulum underneath. The different dial designs make it a beautifully matched duo.
The figures are made of painted metal and each stands on a sturdy base. On the bottom they are marked JVE. Over the years they have acquired a nicely aged character with visible wear and patina.
The clocks have stood in a café for a long time as decorative pieces, and therefore have a light smoke odor. The operation of both clocks has not been tested by me and is therefore offered as unknown. In one example one arm is slightly loose; it is present but hardly interferes when placing them down.
Dimensions per figure: approx. 39 cm high × 32 cm wide × 12 cm deep.
A decorative and characterful set for collectors of old mechanical clocks, automata, tin toys and special café- or interior decoration.
The condition and any signs of use are clearly visible in the photos.
Carefully and well packed for shipping.
