C.1870, French, Raingo Freres, 4-glass mantel regulator, ormolu & marble, in the style of 1810, and in good condition, with minor losses commensurate with age. The fancy porcelain dial has raised gold fleur-de-lis between each dark blue Roman numeral; there are minor hairlines near 2, 5, & 6, that do not show in foto. The reliable bell strike movement was provided by Japy, and with their medallion imprint. This case retains original fire gilding in excellent condition and very bright; each of 4 corners with a standing quiver full of arrows, the central tower surmounted by a large red marble urn with ormolu handles and a floral spray. Sunburst pendulum with number 2400 scribed in that matches movement number. F/S rod through dial lacking, but does not impair running. Height 21 inches
