A Japanese parcel gilt bronze dragon mantel clock, Meiji period, modelled with two dragons amongst waves, the ivory dial with Japanese numerals, French eight day movement striking on a bell and original floral carved hardwood plinth, 32cm wide, 12cm deep, 44cm high CITES submission reference:WX9VSMU6
Looks to be in honest untouched condition, bronze now has a rather dull dark brown finish, a little lighter on the lower dragon, much of the parcel gilding has been rubbed away, dirt marks and light scratching to the glazed door of the dial, cracks running through the ivory of the dial, hands oxidised, movement looks complete but not tested for timekeeping, stamped A1 and numbered 119652, no pendulum or key present. There appears to be one claw broken off and missing from the dragon below the dial.
