The clock presents a standing figure of George Washington beside a monument surmounted by the American eagle, beneath which is the spring driven enameled clock dial. Underneath the dial is the contemporary legend "Washington First in War, First in Peace, First in the Hearts of his Countryman". The enameled dial is signed "Dubuc Rue Michel-Le-Conte No. 33 A Paris". Many of the surviving examples are unsigned and therefore this represents the most desirable form of this rare clock made by an important French clockmaker for the American market. CONDITION: Original condition with chips to enamel dial and lacking pendulum. Item Dimensions: 19 - 1/2" x 14 - 1/2" x 6".
