Condition

Illustration is quite accurate. Good overall condition. The Chinese figure is a Villeroy-Mennecy porcelain, circa 1740. The figure has a one finger restuck. Very few chips to the porcelain flowers. Very minor losses to the green painted metal. Giltbronze base with a fine chasing; traces of green oxydation. The early 18th Century watch by André Rousseau, Paris; fusee movement with verge escapement. Appears to be complete but needs a clean. Very charming object with conservative estimates.
