Catalogue Note
Cette pendule veilleuse était aussi consultable la nuit grâce à l'éclairage d'une bougie placée derrière le cadran ajouré, celui-ci de droite à gauche pour indiquer l'heure. Les pieds pliants indiquent que cette pendule était conçue pour être transportée. Une pendule similaire a été vendue chez Sotheby's à Paris, L'oeil d'un collectionneur, le 5 novembre 2014, lot 162.
