Automaton “Wallace” Fountain Clock

Deniau & Boris

France, circa 1900

Desription

Bronze two-tone case in the form of a tower with long scrolling corbels on the corners. The cupola top contains a fish scale pattern, dolphin finial, figural maidens holding up the dome and an automaton spiral glass rod. The glass rod spins, running on a designated movement. The French brass, time-only clock movement is signed Deniau & Boris, Fabricants, Paris. The clock is located above an aneroid barometer, the whole standing on a black marble base.
