The dial is porcelain enamel on copper, the hours in segregated panels and a separate minute ring. It is complete with original blued steel hands. The rear door is glazed to allow the movement to be seen.

The French movement is of high quality and is by A. D. Mougin. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original. 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, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The dial is also in excellent condition just some nibbles next to the winding holes. 

  
A.D. Mougin clockmaker's mark on the movement backplate along with the retailers mark of Dumoulinneuf and H.Molle, listed in Tardy, Dictionnaire Des Horologers as working at Rue Turenne from 1870.

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.
