After Jean Eug?ne Robert-Houdin. Mystery Clock. Modern reproduction of the famous French magician?s first series (or ?single?) mystery clock, without a visible or traditional connection between the hand and the base. Even so, the clock keeps time and chimes. Design incorporates gilt cherub and a mythical winged lion in its construction. 16? high, including plush-covered hardwood base. With key. Chimes working; clockworks in need of adjustment.
