~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~
A beautiful original French Art Deco clock.
The case is geometrically formed of stunning specimen green, white and brown onyx with two chrome plated spheres each side of the Lioness.
Lioness is made in bronze patinated metal. The dial is matted silvered brass, screen printed with stylised elongated numerals and complete with it's original Art Deco 'skyscraper' blued steel hands. The bezel is chrome plated with bevelled glass.
The French movement is of high quality and is by Fritz Marti. It is a traditional and high quality 'Pendule de Paris' movement. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. We have a video of the clock - please ask and we will send you a link or click here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1564560514077749
Condition of the case is excellent, the marble has a lovely polish, there are some minor nibbles to the marble mostly along the bottom edges and corners and some minor marks. There is a light crack at the front to the base which we have reinforced. The lioness has some wear to the original finish on the high spots. The dial is excellent with some light marks and wear to the lettering. There is some slight wear to the chrome plated bezel.
