[Copper plated enamel birdsong clock]
Copper plated enamel birdsong clock, France, 19th century, with a height of 57 centimeters, a width of 29 centimeters, and a thickness of 19 centimeters
The clock case is made of copper plated gold and consists of a base, a scenery box, and a clock. Music and birdsong machines are installed in the base, and enamel pictures of young men and women dating are inlaid around the seat. In the middle of the set box, there is a background of idyllic scenery, with a mountain stone in front of it, and a singing bird standing on it. The upper part is a set of two needle clock, which is a Graham type escapement. The escapement clamp is horizontal, inlaid with gems, and swings the fork, which is exposed to the outside. The bell is decorated with bronze sculptures of two pigeons, which are 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.
