This clock was most certainly made by a Frenchman who moved to Berlin. The round movement is definitely French work, however, the mounting, pendulum, beatscale, and dial are all Germanic. The alabaster dial has a crack across the center and is dirty. Movement is of 8 day duration. Top left finial with tip chipped; 2 small trim moldings missing at top The ripple molded Biedermeier case is typical of cases made in Berlin. This is not a marriage, but as originally made. Height 23 inches
