She is modelled in patinated metal, coloured gold and grey/blue. The case and side pieces are veneered in faux tortoiseshell, with geometric pyramid shaped faux mother of pearl accents to the corners.
The dial is matted gold screen printed with stylised elongated numerals and complete with it's original square form blued steel hands. It is signed for the retailer Minier of Argenton.
The French movement is of high quality and is by Pierre Megnin of Seloncourt. It is a traditional 'Pendule de Paris' movement with a pendulum. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. We have a video available of the clock running and striking, please ask.
Condition of the case is excellent, the celluloid veneer is very good with a couple areas of slight lifting or marks. There is some slight shrinkage at the base of one side piece. The original finish of the metal work has worn and faded to a lovely patina over time. The glass has been replaced at some time. The dial is also very good, some very slight fading to the lettering and the occasional mark.
Pierre Megnin of Seloncourt, clockmakers mark on the movement backplate.
