LATE 19TH CENTURY

Height of clock 28 inches.

With case key, winding key, and pendulum. Apparently unsigned. In overall stable condition, the bracket able to be mounted to a wall and support the weight of the clock. Clock appears to take a wind and run, but has not been inspected by a horologist or tested for timekeeping accuracy. The hammer that strikes the chime is present but does not appear to be functioning. The front case door is slightly off-kilter and does not latch completely, but does remain closed. The 35 minute mark is missing its enameled numeral; the original 10 minute mark is lost and has been replaced with a painted wood replica. The enamel details in otherwise fairly good condition. The case with an overall attractive appearance, the giltwork very bright. There are minor areas of repair and overpainting to the boulle. See additional photos. Clock: 28 inches high. Overall with bracket: 38 1/2 inches high.
