The large and superb dial is brass, mounted with 12 individual enamel cartouches and blued steel hands.
The French movement is of excellent quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been stripped, inspected, fully cleaned, serviced and function tested by our clockmaker. We have also replaced the pendulum. It runs for 8 days on one wind and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. See the video clip below to see this actual clock working!
Condition of the case is excellent with clean and bright finish. There is some wear, tarnish and discolouration. The candelabra are very slightly distorted. The dial is also in excellent condition, just some slight nibbles around the winding holes. The set displays beautifully as you can see below.
Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
