Description
This is an interesting gesso over wood case, black with gold trim. The case must have been made to match a French furniture set, as I have not seen another like this. The movement, serial number 150785, has matching number bracket, which is mounted on a 1-inch pine board in the back of the case. It is likely that the case was made deep to accommodate a variety of movements and that the block may have been there from the start. The movement is well made, and with matching dial center, weights and pendulum and with original Becker pulleys. Height 39'
