A self-winding clock in the form of a precious birdcage in e - Lot 206
A self-winding clock in the form of a precious birdcage in engraved or gilded bronze or brass; the base is panelled in lacquered sheet metal with appliqué motifs of branches centered on enamel medallions depicting allegorical scenes of amorous feelings; the corners are hollowed out into a niche with vases laden with flowers; it stands on claw feet enclosing spheres; the white enameled circular dial indicates the hours in Roman numerals, and the minutes in Arabic numerals in increments of five. The clockwork mechanism drives a bellows music box imitating the song of a bird, the animated bird perched in the center of the cage. Attributed to Jacquet-Droz About 1800 Height: 55 cm
