A YEAR-GOING WALL CLOCK

By C. Votti, Philadelphia, 1884

The silver dial with Roman numerals in an ornate Gothic case, carved with trailing leafage and flowers, with a glazed pendulum door, with forwards-backwards motion, surrounded by further formal leaf boarders. The movement signed "C. Votti Phila PA Pat. January 11 1884," h: 60 in. Note: The forwards-backwards motion of the pendulum is typical of Viotti's work.
