The well made large round movement with anchor escapement, striking the hours and halves on a bell. The case is well figured walnut veneer over an oak carcass, and has been refinished. The sell chased mounts retain most of their original gilding. The dial itself with superb engine turning. The small faults we see are that the hands are from another French clock and are around a half inch short, and a narrow quarter round walnut molding is absent the base on the rear (minor), and the veneer on the case top is coming loose. Height 20 inches
