C.1890, French, black marble with green malachite inserts mantel clock, 8-day time/strike.

C.1890, French, black marble with green malachite inserts mantel clock, 8-day time/strike. The case is good condition, but has numerous small chips on the base and corners. The rest of the case has a small chip here and there on the corners. The green malachite center medallion on the base is cracked. Someone tried to fill in the incised lines in the case with gold paint and ended up getting paint outside the lines. The porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original. The front beveled glass panels are perfect. The clock probably had a black marble door that was damaged and how has a clear plastic back panel to gain access to the mercury pendulum. Height 18.75 inches
