The dial is silvered bronze with a gilt bronze surround and is complete with original fine blued steel hands. The original rear bezel is also glazed and has a silvered sight ring. The serial number 150 is marked on the front and rear bezel as well as the movement. The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. It is an early movement design with silk suspension and hammer stop spring. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. A video clip is available on request.

very good, the Sienna marble has some old repairs and a good colour and polish.
Bronze has a very good antique patina with some wear on the high spots and some
old touching up. Dial has a mark above the left hand winding hole and is in good
condition with good silvering and lettering. 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. |
