The dial is blind fretted gilt bronze with 12 enamel cartouche numbers and blued steel hands. Please note that this design does not have a glazed bezel. The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. It is the large plated version of the Pendule de Paris movement with pin-pallet escapement and rack striking. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running! Condition of the case is excellent, beautifully clean and bright with only slight marks and discolouration. The dial is also in good condition with nibbles to the edges of the cartouches and some hairlining.
Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
About us - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have developed over many years. We employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free. |
