Description

This is a Carriage clock with bell striking by the famous Henry Marc of Paris. The design of the clock is known as a 'one piece' which has also been fully engraved. These 'One Piece' carriage clocks are normally mid 1800's and this one is around the 1850s. The escapement on this clock is the original and sometimes known as 'Jules Pattern' or 'Jules Escapement'. It has the Helical hairspring. The dial is in incredible original condition with no cracks chips or Hairlines. The top glass has been replaced as it does not have a bevel. This can of course be corrected if you wish but it actually looks fine and I think has been replaced years ago. Just let us know if you wish to have the glass replaced and we can get that organised. The movement is running, it's been oiled and tested. It's ticking and striking on the hour and half hour and will be supplied with a key.

A very rare find and a good investment clock.
