Meissen style parcel gilt porcelain mantel clock, 20th c., surmounted with seated shepherdess and lamb, on shaped case with transferred floral sprays and scrolled gilt foliates, centering white dial with Arabic hour markers, spring-driven time-only movement, spurious crossed swords mark at case interior, operational status unknown, approx 11.25"h, 5.75"w, 4.5"d, 3.5lbs

CR 8.19.25- In my opinion regarding LOT 1181: As described we believe the mantel clock to originate in the 20th century, and the operational status is unknown, the handle used to adjust the minute hand turns easily and the hands respond accordingly when the handle is turned. Though the handle used to turn the lowest gear winds easily with little resistance, it appears that this gear itself is slightly misaligned, as its movement does not trigger the surrounding gears. As with all of our clocks, this piece would likely benefit from a professional adjustment and a thorough cleaning. Close visual and UV light examinations of the physical condition of the clock is unremarkable, and I do not observe hairlines/ fractures, chipping, or evidence of restoration, the enameled decoration with typical light rubs to the gilded elements and the floral motifs at side commensurate with age and use
