The lid of the urn opens for storage of small items. The ormolu is in excellent original condition.

The French movement is by Japy Frères and is of high quality. On the back plate is the clockmaker's mark and also that of the retailer Bozzo Frères of Angers. Bozzo Frères are listed in Tardy* as working in Niort in 1850. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old replacement.

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 dial is also in excellent condition just some tiny nibbles next to the winding holes and a small chip near the '45'. A lovely clock in excellent original condition.
