French Four Glass Regulator Mantle Clock With The Moon-phase Dial

£4,750    $6,017    €5,732
Hi
 
I have for sale an 1890s solid brass French crystal regulator mantel clock that is in stunning condition for the age with an original brass case and fully serviced eight-day striking movement run via original Ellicot pendulum with the ultra rare moon-phase dial which marks the 29.5 lunar days by the x2 small stars at the top of each moon.
 
This clock was made in France by E.S Ed. Serin and signed on the back plate.
 
This clock is simply stunning the case shines in the sunlight and is a very large and heavy clock this clock is insured for £8000
 
The Case
 
The case is in solid very shiny brass very heavy and stands 31cm high x 18cm wide with a depth of 14cm it is in very good original condition very shiny and has been very well looked after over the years, with 8mm thick beveled glass on all four sides, both doors open with ease and all glass is free of chips or marks all panels again are in mint condition.
 
The Dial
 
The dial is in original condition with a working moon phase center and with the bold black Roman numerals, the clock set off with the original black ornate hands.
 
 
The Movement
 
The movement is an eight-day time and strikes striking the hours and halves on a large sweet gong a real quality movement, which still retains the original key and massive brass gilt Ellicot pendulum.
 
The movement keeps good time over the eight days; she was fully stripped down ultrasonic cleaned new springs hand polished than all screws were re-blued then oiled tested and run around three years ago.( the work cost over £1350.00 on this clock alone, just been serviced again running very strong)
 
All the wheelwork is ultra fine the cutting out is of top quality this would have been a very expensive clock back in the day and I think one of the best for sale at the moment by far.
 
Please do not miss this one to see a clock like this again you could wait a very long time it is stunning in the flesh.
 
Overall a very beautiful rare clock in its origi...
