Pendule aux Chinois en porcelaine de Chine et bronze doré d'époque Louis XV, le mouvement signé Tallon Le Fils à Paris

le cadran émaillé à chiffres romains et arabes, dans une boîte hexagonale suspendue dans un arbre en bronze doré orné de fleurs de porcelaine européenne, reposant sur un socle également en bronze doré figurant des végétaux et des petits animaux et sur lequel sont enchâssés deux petits godets en porcelaine blanc de Chine et deux personnages en porcelaine de Chine polychrome

Illustration is quite accurate. The overall condition is fine. The gilt bronze base and branche with a fine mercury gilding. The chasing is of good quality and typically rocaille. The Chinese porcelain figures are in good condition; the two little white bowls restored. The porcelain flowers have certainly been partly replaced (some with minor chips) and one missing. The mecanism is in working condition. Fine and very delicate clock.
