A very fine quality automaton picture clock. Set in a fine gilt frame with the painting protected by the original glass. The picture in oils on metal is of a harbour scene, very well painted. A ship with storm sails only can be seen tossing and bucking in the fierce seas. There is a clock in the church on the hill. There is an early musical movement operated by pulling a cord. The automaton movement is by Cailly and the movement in the church although having a miniature dial is a full sized movement signed by Hry Mark with a silk suspension and striking the hours and halves on a gong. French. Circa 1840 34 inches wide by 29 inches high and 6.5 inches deep ( 85 cms by 72.5 cms by 16 cms).
