English Red Chinoiserie Mantel Clock, Japy Freres Movement, Circa 1920

About the Item

An early 20th century Japanned red and gilded mantle clock, decorated with cranes among a floral design, the 4" inch enamel dial having Arabic numerals and case with a rounded finial and twin carrying handles, the 8 day French Japy Freres movement striking on a single gong. The case decoration is particularly nice on this clock and this is the first clock I have handled which is decorated with cranes.
