The dial is porcelain enamel on copper, painted with delicate floral swags between the numbers. The French movement is of high quality and is by Samuel Marti. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Sunburst pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell.

The gilt metal has wear but it bright and clean. The bronze patinated figures are in very good condition with just some slight rubbing to the patination. The glass has been replaced at some time.

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. |
