Waisted shaped case, decorated profusely with acanthus leaves and 'C' scrolls. The front is finely pieced allowing the pendulum to be seen swinging within. To the top is a large elaborate urn with a Rococo finial. It is of lovely quality, heavily made but with a crisp, light design.

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.
