in very good, as-found condition. This clock does tick and strike on the large bell at top, but would benefit from service. It has a finely detailed dial surround and pendulum, the top with two peacocks, with peacock plumes coming down around the sides, and a the bottom a nest with 3 eggs. The pendulum with a similar theme and a bird in flight above the bob, and the bob in a giant sunburst shape. The brass is all oxidized to a brownish-gray color, which can be left or polished off. Porcelain dial signed Flourac, St. Ybars. Anchor escapement. Height 52 inches
