Jade and Silver Singing Bird Box Mantle Clock
This enchanting objet d'art masterfully blends artistic beauty with mechanical ingenuity, featuring a clock, a singing bird box and a delicate sculpture. Carved from solid jade and adorned with sterling silver repoussé, it exemplifies the pinnacle of both horology and decorative arts. The silver-clad young woman holds a bird, crafted from natural hummingbird feathers, perched on a branch. With the press of a button, the bird sings, and the figure gently nods, as though humming along, all in front of a silver birdbath adorned with charming putti. The clock features a striking enamel dial, framed by intricate silver foliate designs and marked by elegant Arabic numerals.
