The French movement is of high quality and is by Samuel Marti. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement.

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration.
