C.1840, C. DeTouche, 228 Rue St. Martin, Paris, 8-day time/strike silk thread suspension marble calendar clock.

23 October 2024
Condition: Black marble case is in pretty nice condition with a small chip on one top corner edge and one corner of the base. There is also some roughness on the base. Porcelain dial and beveled door glass are perfect and the hands are original. The rectangular calendar dial is cracked in several places, but the calendar hands are original. The calendar movement is substantial, however has some rust on the steel work. Looking at the signed movement there appears to be a fair amount of rust to the steel arbors from having been stored in a damp place. Movement is not ticking, and we did not remove it to review condition. Height 13.75 inches
