Manufacturer: ANTIQUE MINIATURE BRONZE SWISS CLOCK CHINOISERIE FIGURE
Antique / vintage 17 jewels miniature, gilt bronze, figural clock. The body is English, made by Bentima circa 1930's and the movement is Swiss. <P><P>
This is a true miniature clock, measuring just over 2 1/2 inches high and a little under 2 inches wide. <P><P>
4 ball feet support a rectangular casket shaped base. Above this is a domed, elongated body with a round face, engraved Roman numerals, calibrated down to the minute. On top is a winder. Next to the body of the clock is a chinoiserie figure of a Chinaman, sitting cross-legged, with a tall, pointy hat, ruffled collar and engraved detail to his clothing. <P><P>
A round opening at the back reveals the movement, which is very fine and in good, working order. It is engraved with Bentima STAR, SWISS, 17 JEWELS. <P><P>
Good, original condition.
