C.1880, French, Inlaid Mantel Clock with center sweep seconds hand, 8-day, bell strike. Condition: This clock comes to us from storage and the movement needs service (does tick fine with positive action on seconds hand). The tortoise shell veneer on the case is cracked and missing in some places; the contrasting satinwood and ivory-like inlay also has losses, and the case itself has a dry split on the left side above 10. The porcelain dial has some small chips around the winding holes and along the margin below six; bezel closes, but the hinge is weak and will need repair. Overall complete and sound and will respond to restoration. Height 17 inches
