Shown is a fine example of the ''Pendule Portative'' or portable clock as it has a silk suspension which is very forgiving when the clock is carried . This beautiful example has a superb ''watersilk'' engine turned dial which was quite popular in the 1830-50''s and quite possibly the best set of hands we have ever seen on such a clock being elaborately made and gilded . The dial has a rating square above the 12 o''clock position and a small cartouche below the six with Henry Marc''s Name and Paris . The case is mostly Rosewood with fancy inlays to both sides and line inlays to the outer edges. Bell striking on the hour and half hour and being a ''countwheel'' strike you can run this clock Silently too. A very good Henry Marc, clock. Circa 1840-50.As seen on T.V.
