Description

Brass hands have been repaired. The palmette at the bottom of the clock has been repaired and now has a different patina because of it. Evidence of modern adhesive holding the copper to the iron backing. Rear cover is made from brass and may be later. Rack and snail strike on a large bell mounted behind the movement. Rack tail made of brass may be an old repair. Unsigned round movement with thick plates, nicely turned pillars, and whimsical rack component in the form of a boot. Lots of evidence of hand finishing. Lever for hour repeat on the left side behind the dial.
