Image description

Movement by Peter Bofenschen, Hanover. The rectangular stepped breakfront case surmounted by a pierced gallery with flaming urn finials and a central garlanded urn, the moulded architectural cornice above a triangular pediment mounted with a mask of Apollo, above a white enamel Roman and Arabic dial signed 'P. Bofenschen Hannover' with an elaborate ormolu coiled serpentine hour hand, the minute hands cast as a vine-wrapped torch, the twin-going barrel clock movement with strike on bell and with trip to the massive musical movement playing on one of nine large cylindrical pin barrels with latches to secure them to the large brass frame with transverse-mounted large leather bellows generating air to blow through sixty wooden pipes and further playing on a dulcimer with seventy individual strings, the whole movement on a massive mahogany seatboard, the the bezel flanked by ribbon-tied floral garlands and fluted columns and pilasters, headed by ionic capitals, above a stepped panelled breakfront base with conforming plinth, the sides with panelled doors and the back with a single removable panel.
