Description
This is a very large and impressive oak case, with winged lions on either side of the clock, drifting down to carved fruit and swags, the whole surmounted by a large fruit basket. The well made French movement has an engine turned dial center with the name Flouet, Boulvart Diderot 4, Paris. The movement and dial have come loose in the bezel and will need some tightening (rotates when you try to wind it). Also the crystal over the dial has a defective hinge and is held on with a large pin at this point. The large Aneroid barometer in the bottom appears to be complete and sound, and the thermometer is also working (Centigrade scale). The restoration items are certainly worth dealing with, considering the well detailed case. Height 42 inches
