Description
The bracket is new and the entire case has been finished in the style of Vernis Martin. The best part of this clock is the early and complicated pinwheel movement, which strikes the quarters on two coiled gongs and then repeats the quarters and hour on two bells. (Very often one or the other of these trains is missing or modified, but happily both of these features are intact). The pendulum is a modern replacement, also the hands are from a Vienna regulator. Has a double curve convex porcelain dial with Roman numerals. Both decorative and interesting. Would be 6000 dollars if all original. Height of clock only 26 inches, total with bracket 36 inches.
