A stunning and rare clock by the well known sculptor Pierre Sega, circa 1925. It features a charming scene of a girl holding a bird aloft to save it from her two large and playful dogs. Beautifully modelled in colored and patinated white metal. The clock case is veneered in the most fantastic early celluloid, piano black, mottled green and faux mother of pearl.
