This mantle clock is a Japy Freres clock from (presumably) the late 1800's. It depicts a hunting scene and has a gilded finish. The clock sits under a glass dome. It is from France. I don't know much else about it. Condition - there is some wear on the gilded finish (seen in pictures). The clock runs but doesn't keep time well - it needs to be serviced. Otherwise it is in good shape with the glass dome (amazingly) still intact.
Dimensions
22"L x 10"W x 25" tall (top of glass dome) or 20" tall for just the clock itself.
