Description
This is a Victorian version of a clock style that has been popular for 250 years. Sadly, several cartouche on the dial have been damaged and will need professional attention. I realize the photo looks OK, but the losses and repairs to the numerals are visible on close examination. The brass and tortoiseshell work is still quite good; a few loose edges, but everything is there and will clean up nicely. Has a well made square French movement, unsigned, striking on a bell, and with a sunburst pendulum. Really is a visually striking clock that can be restored nicely. Height 19 inches
