Candelabra have branches formed of mythical creatures and are complete with snuffers. The clock set is beautifully detailed and well finished.

The dial is enamel on copper with blued steel hands.

The French movement is of very high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully serviced by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement.
