Dear friends,
Here is the story I was told from the grandmother.
This clock along with 2 wooden chairs and a chess table belonged to the first King of Greece Otto and found their way to our family since a relative was in the court.
I am trying to find out more and I am posting the pictures, to know if this was made around 1840 -1860 .my email is dennisgiannissopoulos@windowslive.com
I also have all the furniture described above and photos, so any enthusiastic with knowledge is welcome.
thank you for your time
Dennis
