Good French mantel clock timepiece with automata, the 3" white dial and movement inset into a faux stone pillar housed under a tree with realistic foliage surmounted by an exotic bird to the top over two automata birds with one jumping from branch to branch over another drinking from a fountain, supported upon a plinth and turned ebonised wooden base housing the automata mechanism, under a glass dome, 24" high overall (pendulum and two keys)

More Information

The general condition appears to be reasonably with expected wear and tear for age, the clock and automata both work but the clock stops after a few minutes possibly in need of a good overhaul, see images for guidance, personal viewing always advised where possible
