A Neoclassical Meissen porcelain pendulum clock

Brass-mounted porcelain with a glazed enamel dial. Blue crossed swords mark, star-like subsidiary mark. Minimal restorations, for example on the toe, the upper corners, some leaves, and the arrows. H 30.5, W ca. 29 cm.
The model attributed to Michel Victor Acier, after 1776, presumably formed around this time.
