C.1890, French, Mahogany Tall Clock, with good pinwheel movement. We thought at first this began life as a wall clock, since the veneer on the base does not quite match that on the main case. However, there is no evidence it ever stood any other way. The well made Morbier movement could stand a new piece of cord, but runs strongly with a steady beat. Good crisp action on the center second hand and the porcelain dial is perfect. Weight is from another clock, but works fine; movement lacks dust covers (easy to cut from sheet stock, or leave off altogether). Height 78"
