Description
Two minor items keep this from being excellent; the dial got bumped at 7 a long time ago and there is a resulting spider web crack, and someone has added a black dial mask to help fill the space between the dial and the case. The heavy and robust 3-train Morbier movement strikes 2 bell quarters, followed by full hours on a third large bell. It is an Ear full! The grid pendulum has a few minor dings in the bob. Brass sheathed weights are replacements but work fine. The well molded oak case has floral trim on the pediment, and a large carved fruit spray on the plinth. This is a large clock, so check ceiling height. Height 97"
