The French movement is of high quality and is by the clockmaker A. D. Mougin. The Mougin mark is on the movement backplate and unusually there is a founders mark on the inside of the case. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled and tested by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!
Condition of the case is
excellent, beautifully clean and bright with hardly any
wear or discolouration and there are no losses. There is an old repair to one of
the swags of the urn. The dial is also in excellent
condition with no damage.
Complete with original pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
About us - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have developed over many years. We employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free. |
