Hi
I have for sale a French striking and repeating carriage clock made in France around 1870;s simply stunning brass chased mask housing the dial with Roman numerals striking on a gong.
The clock is in a fully engraved case and dials mask.
The Case
The case is in solid shiny brass fully engraved and stands 16cm high x 9cm wide with a depth of 7cm it is in perfect condition with mint thick 3mm beveled sides/front/ and top viewing glass.
The case is very shiny and hard to photograph they do not do the clock justice at all.
The Dial
The dial is in original condition in white porcelain with Roman numerals, the dial is set in a stunning gilded engraved mask which sets this clock apart from others, the clock has very fine original black moon hands, and has the alarm dial to the bottom.
The main dial has a flea bite at 6 and the alarm dial has some small cracking.
The Movement
The movement is an eight-day time and strike which strikes the hours via a small swee
...t gong to the rear and also has the repeater button on top to repeat the last hour strike, plus a fully working alarm, the movement has been serviced and oiled so keeping great time over the eight days and has the bonus of the original platform escapement.
The movement has been fully had been fully serviced and is running very strong.
The original box is with it.
