Swiss watchmaking Picture clock with pocket watch movement - gold-plated easel - spherical feet and devil's head A wonderful gem. With a fine polygram painting on a frame designed like a painter's easel. Depicted is an illuminated party in a tavern or inn. A discussion is being had. In the middle, a young couple - sitting by the barrel, a man lighting a pipe. Beautiful brush strokes and fine strong colours. Very atmospheric and interesting. The frame of the painting is engraved. The easel is crowned by a devil's face. It also has a very naturalistic design. The entire case - the easel, the head and the claw feet - is gilded. The movement can be wound on the back and the hands can also be adjusted on the back. The fire-gilded bridge movement runs for a day. The movement works. The winding key is included. Height 13. 5 cm The picture is 7 x 5. 5 cm with frame. Fantastic condition without any damage whatsoever. A collector's item for the display cabinet. The pictures are part of the description.
