To the bottom of the case is a lovely inscription "Presented to Mr and Mrs R.R. Pearce on their golden wedding by their children 1894".

The French movement is by A. D. Mougin and is of the company's usual high quality. It 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 gong. 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 some minor wear and marks. The porcelain is in excellent condition.

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.
