Description
This clock is in overall fair condition. The case is weak (not that these are ever really strong), and most of the tole painted pattern has been rubbed off. The well made movement strikes the hours on a deep toned bell and then repeats the hour again at 2 minutes after the hour (2 minutes prayer time as was common in the day). The repoussandeacute; pendulum has a deep floral pattern and a similar dial surround. The porcelain dial is excellent and signed: CHERDER, andaacute; Monteau les Mines. With 2 iron weights. Height 91 1/2"
