French porcelain mantel clock, 19th c., Sevres-style bisque porcelain figural group, The Theft of the Rose (Le Larcin de la Rose), after Louis Simon Boizot (French, 1743-1809), white enamel dial with Arabic numeral hours, signed Cauch...(?), Paris, time-and-strike movement marked Japy et Cie., parcel-gilt and enameled base, on bronze toupie feet, loss to element held in cherub's left arm, typical small chips and losses to flowers, lacking pendulum, not currently operational, approx 17.5"h, 13"w, 6"d, 17.5lbs
CR 7.28.25- As mentioned in the catalog description, the clock is not currently operational. It is lacking a pendulum. The bell and striker are present and resound nicely when manually struck. While the clock winds easily with little resistance, the movement does not respond to winding. As mentioned, there is loss to the element held in the cherub's left arm and typical small chips and losses to the porcelain flowers. There is also typical light crazing to the dial. As with all of our antique clocks, this piece would likely benefit from a professional adjustment and a thorough cleaning.
