in the style of Chas. Boulle. All of the ormolu trim and all of the brass inlay is intact, although a couple of pieces are loose (be careful when cleaning). The dial is a heavy cast one with 12 individual porcelain numerals. The movement, a quality round unit, is signed Etierre Maxant, Paris, and with the initials "CR" in an oval, also with serial number 20084 and with matching serial no. pendulum. These are often in a state of distress and this one is in very good condition. Movement would benefit from service. Height 12" $1000-1250
