Hi
I have for sale a French striking and repeating carriage clock made in France around 1880;s in rare case as it has the fretwork on the sides to match the dial and the side glass and it is simply stunning to look at, striking on a gong having been fully serviced.
This is one large heavy clock built to top spec and a must for the best of collections a very rare case not often seen for sale, with the solid handle also.
The Case
The case is in solid shiny gilt and stands 21cm high x 11cm wide with a depth of 10cm it is in perfect condition with mint thick 3mm beveled sides/front/ and top viewing glass.
The case is very shiny and hard to photograph they do not do the clock justice at all.
The Dial
The dial is in original condition with a silvered chapter ring, the dial is set in a stunning gilded fretwork mask which sets this clock apart from others,the clock has very fine original black spade hands,
with the bold but fine Arabic numerals.
The Movement
The
... movement is an eight-day time and strike which strikes the hours via a small sweet gong to the rear and also has the repeater button on top to repeat the last hour strike, the movement has been serviced and oiled so keeping a great time over the eight days and has the bonus of the original silvered platform escapement.
The movement has been fully serviced and is running very strong.
The movement contains Geneva stop work to save over winding only found on the best of the best.
Overall a very beautiful quality carriage clock by a top quality French maker that looks stunning on display and contains all of its original features this is quite a rare find these days.
I will ship worldwide and pack very carefully.
