RARE & UNUSUAL ANIMATED CLOCK PAINTING. A rare and unusual combination of combination of features. Large tableau with original frame, measuring 36″ wide x 31″ high x 9 deep. 8-tune Swiss music box, with 11.5 cylinder, and original tune card. 8-day clock, with silk-thread suspension, activating the music box on the hour. Weekly Angelus chimes (call to prayers) activated by a separate clock movement. The animation movements are quite large and fascinating to watch: two men forging a horseshoe on an anvil; an assistant pumping the bellows to stoke the furnace; a farrier shoeing a horse; the horse nodding his head and a small dog wagging his tail. The fine Swiss music box is in excellent condition, playing without any broken teeth or damper squeaks. Dating to about 1870, this is just about the most complex assemblage of components we have ever seen. Take a look, see what we mean.
