A RARE LATE 19TH CENTURY VIENNESE SILVER, GILT, ENAMELLED, PEARL AND SEMI PRECIOUS STONE MOUNTED MUSICAL TABLE CLOCK IN THE CHINESE TASTE
of portico form, the circular case surmounted by an oval cabochon of turquoise stone, raised on a pair of columns terminating in pierced bases cast with C scrolls and flowerheads, raised on a rectangular plinth base with engine turned decoration, with four further turquoise cabochons to the corners, over four scrolling feet, the gilt dial with enamelled Roman numerals, the hinged back cover with filigree work, revealing the finely engraved back of the single train movement decorated with foliage and flowerheads, the base fitted with a musical movement activated by winding from the underside,

The movement is winding and ticking and the musical box is working but not fully tested or guaranteed. A very similar clock was sold at these rooms on 21 March 2017, lot 537, £11,000.
