The French Pendule de Paris movement is by Louis Japy and has the clockmakers mark on the backplate along with the retailers mark, see picture below. The movement is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully serviced by our clockmaker. It runs for 8 days on one wind and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Pendulum is original. Click the movie below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!

Condition of the case is very good with some very slight marks and shrinkage cracking to the veneer. Veneer has a lovely figure and a good finish. Ormolu is in excellent condition with just some minor wear on the high spots. Original glass is in good condition. Dial is in excellent condition with just a short, faint hairline near the left hand winding hole.

Complete with original pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.

A stunning clock to add to your collection!

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 employee two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.
