C.1905, French, Fancy Crystal Regulator

C.1905, French, Fancy Crystal Regulator with cut and polished crystal columns (4) and matching cut crystal urn at top, and with mercury pendulum, the whole in very good condition. This is an exceptional clock, with only minor losses... a small and nearly invisible corner chip in the front door, minor abrasions on the dial and loss of gilding on the main part of the case. The case itself is a multi piece ormolu design, with mahogany base and top sections, offset with bronze mounts. The porcelain dial has an engine turned dial center with original gilding, the rack striking movement in operating order, signed simply "Made in France". If this were an American clock it would bring $3000. Suggest special packing for this fragile item. Height 15 1/2"
