C.1850, Planchon, Paris, 8-day time/strike French Empire style mantel clock, in generally good original condition. The case is veneered in nicely figured mahogany with bronze lions and feet. The porcelain dial is perfect with original delicate hands and finely made bezel. The case has dry crack in the veneer and a small simple molding above the dial is missing in places. This molding and other cosmetic flaws could be easily restored. Both movement and dial are signed. With some minor restoration this could be an elegant clock. Height 14"
