France. Circa 1820.

​

Faux-painted, French Morbier tall case clock with brass & enamel face, hammered brass pendulum. Posies, lily-of-the-valley and strawberry blossoms decorate the base and case door, while the bucolic nature of the theme is sealed by the inclusion of wheat ears on the base and bonnet. The pair of doves above the face indicate that this clock was most likely a wedding gift.
