C.1800, French, 4-Column, Empire clock, with large long running movement, pinwheel escapement and center seconds hand. Condition: the dial is a replacement from a C.1910 German clock; the pendulum is an old Ellicott style from a Victorian clock. The movement has been changed from knife edge to suspension spring. Retains vernier beat adjustment as well as verge adjustment. Despite all the deficiencies, the movement is original to the case, and the patient detective may locate period parts to restore the clock. Height 20 inches
