Silver pair cased windmill automaton
–
A decorative pair-cased verge pocket watch with automaton, circa 1801.
Outer case silver, inner case silver, case maker’s punch mark “CS”, enamel, polychrome painted dial, full plate movement, chain/fusee, three-arm iron balance.
The pretty enamel scene is dominated by the large church steeple that holds the dial of the clock. The blades of the windmill in the background turn in time with the balance.
The picture is peaceful and a little naive in its execution – in the distance, however, loom the faceless suburbs of modern cities.
