C.1890, French, Carved Oak cartel clock in original condition.

C.1890, French, Carved Oak cartel clock in original condition. The round oak dial plate has individual bronze numerals, all intact. The well made square French movement strikes the hours and halves on a gong, however the minute hand got caught on something and the tip of the minute shaft has broken off; the hand is just setting there for the photo. The case is deeply carved, a large depiction of the North Wind at the top and full size fruit at the bottom, and retains its original dark oak stain finish. A large and impressive clock; worth attending to the movement. Height 28 inches
