It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell.

The marble is also very good with some slight nibbles to the edges. The marble has mellowed to a lovely cream-white colour with some discolouration. There is some slight chipping to the top of the columns. The dial is also in excellent condition just slight chipping around the winding hole.

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. |
