le temple orné d'un groupe en biscuit inscrit dans la colonnade représentant un enfant et son chien, reposant sur des pieds en griffes
Condition
The illustration is quite accurate. Gilding and marble in overall good condition : a chip to the base of one column and some loose to the pearl-frieze on the base. The arrow forming handle possibly replaced. The caryatids with tiny elements missing, such as flowers or accessories. The biscuit porcelain group (probably associated) with chips and losses. Numerals all in very good condition. Movement is complete but needs a clean and fresh oil. With pendulum and winder. Very decorative and charming clock.
