ANONYMOUS Large night and day clock in an ebonized sculpted wooden case, surmounted by a figure of a child. Parchment dial with Roman numerals with polychrome floral decorations. Italy, late 17th century. Only time movement with alarm and verge escapement. Inside the box there is still the chimney as well as the original system of wooden pulleys for the weights. H. cm 118 (minor defects and replacements to the movement) Clocks with a dial of this type are particularly rare as parchment caught fire easily due to the internal candles
