The French movement is of the high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the movie below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!

Condition of the case is excellent with clean and bright finish and there are no losses. There is a small crack in the left hand rear leg and the front foot is a little distorted. There is some very minor wear to the original gilding on the high spots. There is some scratching to the original bevelled glass. The dial has some slight hair-lining and a faint crack next to the right hand winding hole.
