Description
The heavy 2-part case is profusely carved on front and sides, with hinged doors for access to movement and pendulum. Typical Morbier iron cased movement sets on 2 runners in top part of case; retains 2 iron weights that operate the movement via direct drive, for 8 days. Note the dial has chips at 7 and 11, but not too noticeable. The brass disk showing through the lenticle is above the actual pendulum bob, which is heavy and lower, and the top door obscures the very bottom of the dial. If your décor calls for a very tall clock with carving, this is sure to fill the bill. Height 97 inches
