After Jean Eug?ne Robert-Houdin. Glass Column Mystery Clock. Recreation of the famous French magician?s second series (or ?double?) mystery clock, without a visible or traditional connection between the hand, here suspended on a glass face, which in turn rests atop a clear glass column. Even so, the clock keeps time and chimes. Oversized gilt wood base with losses, stringing below loose. 19? high, including plush-covered hardwood base. One key. Chimes working; clockworks in need of adjustment.
