Arundel Clocks has dated this French Brass Carriage Clock to the 1890s.
I have for sale a French striking carriage clock made in France around 1870;s with the rare centre seconds made for the Chinese market.
The Case
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, it has a sweep seconds hand, which sets this clock apart from others ,the clock has very fine original black ornate hands.
The Movement
The movement is an eight-day time and strike which strikes the hours via a small sweet bell to the rear and a bell at the base with the repeat button to repeat the last hour struck,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 serviced and is running very strong.
The original key is with it.
The movement contains Geneva stop work to save over winding only found on the best of the best.
Overall, a very beautiful quality carriage clock by a top quality French maker that looks stunning on display and contains all of its original features this is quite a rare find these days.
I will ship worldwide and pack very carefully.
