The dial is matted gold, screen printed with stylised elongated numerals and complete with it's original square form blued steel hands. The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. It is a traditional 'Pendule de Paris' movement with a pendulum. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video below to hear the bell and watch the clock running. Condition of the case is excellent, the greyhound has its original finish with a lovely patina that has worn where the clock has been held for winding. Marble is also excellent with a very good polish and only very slight nibbles to the edges and corners. Dial is also very good with just some very slight marks.
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. |
