HiI 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 CaseThe case is in solid shiny gilt brass, fully engraved and stands 19cm high x 9cm wide with a depth of 8cm it is in perfect condition with mint thick 3mm bevelled 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 DialThe 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 MovementThe 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....
