The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old replacement. 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! Please note that this type of clock doesn't have a glazed bezel or back door.
Condition of the case is
very good, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any
wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The porcelain is in excellent condition with no major damage, just some small chipping around the winding holes. The vast majority of the over-glaze gilt decoration is fresh and complete with remarkably little wear including the dial.
A very pretty clock set to add to your collection. Complete with 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. |
