The cords need replacing. The clock took a tumble and there are spider web cracks in the porcelain dial. The dial is signed Pellerin et Fils, a" Charleval. The calendar wheel and hand are absent; the movement, although dirty, is otherwise complete and sound. German weights are later, but seem heavy enough to run the clock. Anchor escapement. Dial 9', Height 54'
