The French movement is by Fritz Marti and has the clockmakers mark on the movement backplate. It 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!

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilt brass is beautifully clean and bright with just some slight wear, some surface scratches and a little discolouration, just what you would expect with an antique clock. The dial is also in good condition, there are a few light scratches and a little fading to some of the blue lettering. 

Fritz Marti mark on the movement backplate.

Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
