Bronze plated butterfly pendulum birdsong clock

[Bronze Plated Butterfly Swing Bird’s Voice Clock]

Copper Plated Butterfly Swing Bird’s Voice Clock, France, 19th century, with a height of 55 centimeters, a width of 25 centimeters, and a thickness of 17 centimeters
The clock case is made of copper plated gold and consists of a base, a scenery box, and a clock. Music and birdsong machinery are installed in the base. Standing on the hillside of the central set box is a singing bird, with a butterfly moving left and right behind it, actually the pendulum of the clock above. The upper part is a set of two needle clocks decorated with bronze sculptures of two pigeons, spreading their wings and singing in unison, which is very interesting. The movement of the clock is not mechanically linked to the base
After the base is strung and started, the music is played first, followed by birdsong. The bird opens its mouth, swings its head, and shakes its tail at the same time, creating a vivid and vivid image. The pigeons on the top of the clock and the olive branches on the four columns give a sense of peace and tranquility.
