Untitled work
Description
Horloge de parquet en poirier équipée d'un mouvement Saint-Nicolas. Le fût droit est est sculpté d'un bouquet en partie haute. La tête est entourée de grappes de raisin et de feuilles de vignes, à son sommet un vase drapé (rare) duquel débordent des roses et du feuillage. Le cadran émaillé présente les chiffres romains en noir et est signé 'Jn Allix' 'St Nicolas' en lettres rouges (rare). Le balancier passe devant les cordes, ce qui est inhabituel car il est plutôt derrière les cordes jusqu'en 1840 environ
