The current lot can be directly compared to another garniture of almost identical pattern (with the exception of having additional candelabra extensions to the side pieces) which was sold at Christies, London The Opulent Eye - 19th Century Furniture, Sculpture & Works of Art 6th March 2014 (lot 197) for a premium inclusive £35,000.The full identity of the painter of the porcelain panels of the current lot, C. Kiffert, appears not to be recorded, however this signature is sometimes seen on large impressive porcelain vases often executed in the style of Sevres. One such example was sold at Christies, London 19th Century Furniture, Sculpture, Works of Art & Ceramics 27th September 2007 (lot 63) for a premium inclusive £18,500. The painted porcelain surmount adorning the present clock is unusually modelled as a carp with a dragon's head. This form comes from the legend of Koi-no-Takinobori which has its roots in ancient China wherein carp swim, against all odds, up a waterfall known as the 'Dragon Gate' at the headwaters of China's Yellow River. The gods are very impressed by the feat, and reward the few successful carp by turning them into powerful dragons. The story symbolizes the virtues of courage, effort, and perseverance, which correspond to the nearly impossible struggle of humans to attain Buddhist enlightenment.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and all original with no visible alteration or significant replacements. Although the mechanism will run and strike it is in dirty/neglected condition hence requires a clean/service. The dial panel is free from visible chips or cracks other than some very slight nibbling around the winding holes. The numerals may have been re-touched/strengthened and there is a slight firing blemish near the VIII numeral otherwise panel is in good albeit slightly dirty condition with minimal wear to the gilding. The side panels are free from visible damage or restoration and have minimal gilt wear however are a little dirty. The dragon fish figural surmount has had some chipping to the whiskers touched-in with red pigment - this will require attention to bring the figure back to fine condition. The securing studs for the platform holding the surmount are presently incomplete hence it can be lifted straight-off the case. The gilding to the brass is original and generally in sound albeit very dirty condition but has some noticeable rubbing to high spots. Both side pieces are generally in good original condition although one has cracking and related small shallow chips to the base part of the ceramic. Otherwise faults are limited to very light gilt wear.The clock has a pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
