~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~
The front is formed of a panel of pierced tracery with lions masks and Fleur-de-lis that allows the pendulum to be seen swinging within. The top is formed with flying buttresses holding the final aloft.
The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with a pieced gilt bronze rose to the centre and its original blued steel hands.
The French movement is of high quality and is by A D Mougin. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video to hear the bell and watch the clock running.
Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration. The dial is also in excellent condition just some nibbles to the winding holes.
