C.1880, French, Farret a' Paris, Bronze and white marble MYSTERY clock, the movement with a steel arm over the verge, near the top case panel, which is moved from side to side by a strong magnet in the bottom of the pendulum, which attraction for the steel pulls the pendulum toward the center and results in a 'scape at the same time. A small brass counter weight brings the verge back to center and gets it ready for the next impulse from the other direction. The bronze figure signed Ferrand.
