Compagnie des Bronzes of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Brussels; The company built an international reputation for monumental bronzes, producing many important items. Their signature mark is on the movement backplate.

The clock modelled and beautifully finished all the way around and the back door is glazed to allow the movement to be seen; the set displays beautifully in the centre of a room as well as on a mantle or side table.

It features the superior pin-pallet escapement and rack striking and runs for 8 days between winding. The hours and halves are struck on a bell, click the video below to see and hear this actual movement.

Condition of the case is excellent with clean and bright finish and there are no losses. There is some very very slight wear/discolouration to the excellent original gilding. The dial cartouches have a few very small chips and a light scratch on the number 6.

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