The case is burr walnut mounted with exquisitely finished ormolu mounts. Acanthus swags to the shoulders and feet and a gadrooned border to the stop with a pretty loop handle. The bezel is set with jewels that glint as they catch the light and the lovely little dial is enamel on copper and complete with original very fine gilt brass hands.
The French miniature movement is of high quality with lever escapement and is in excellent clean and running condition. It runs for 8 days. Click the video clip below to watch the clock running!
Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The walnut veneer has a nice polish and there is just a slight mark to the right hand shoulder. The dial is also in excellent condition with no damage.
Complete a suitable key. No setting up required.

About us - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have developed over many years. We employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.
