After Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin. Glass Column Mystery Clock. A handsome example of Robert-Houdin’s double mystery clock, with a clear glass dial to which a single arrow-shaped hand is attached, Roman numerals with minute track, mounted to a clear glass tube terminating in four griffins, seeming to provide no connection between the clock and any hidden mechanism. Pale emerald plush-covered base with gilt appliques. Possible restoration or replacement of dial, top mount and bezel. Internal mechanism and construction of case consistent with original design. Height 19 ½”. Dial 5” diam. Base 6 ½ x 6 ½”. Felt on base soiled, scuffed and worn.
