RARE FLOWER CLOCK
A highly decorative and rare flower clock in glass dome on ebonised base. The ormolu branches stand on an entwined based and the braches support the leaves and porcelain flowers (probably Meissen). The base also supports the central fluted marble pillar with an ormolu plaque on the front and an ormolu eagle above. The highest branch of the tree supports the timepiece set in an ormolu surround with opening bezel and enamel dial with blue steel hands. The 30 hour verge movement has engraved and pierced balance clock and back plate engraved Jacob Massy, Leicesterfield, London. Flower clocks are recorded as early as the 18th century but this is 19th century with an earlier (1725) movement.
