Hi

The Case
The case is in solid shiny brass and stands a small 15cm high x 9cm wide with a depth of 8cm it is in great condition with gilded side panels depicting sceens.
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 silvered , the dial with Arabic numerals , the clock also retains its original fine gilt spade hands.
The Movement
The movement is an eight day time and strike which strikes the hours via a blue gong to the rear also has the repeater button on top to repeat the last hour strike and all running via the original platform escapement.
The whole movement has been has just been serviced so running strong and keeping good time , this movement has end stop( Geneva Stop work ) so you can not over wind again only on the best clocks.
Overall a very beautiful qu
...ality carriage clock by a quality French maker that looks stunning on display and contains all of its original features this is quite a rare find these days.
