C.1800, French, Provincial Tall Case clock, 30-hour single weight time and strike (continuous chain Lantern movement), in a bog oak case with carved floral decorations. Condition: the case is complete, but with some glue and modern screw repairs that need attention; door now with magnetic latch. And the "hood" has been attached to the trunk at the rear, with some sheet metal screws (can be easily be un-done), the right access panel similarly attached from the inside. This work was done to disguise years of neglect on the case, some worm damage evident in the rear of the base. The heavy and robust Lantern Clock has been set inside the case as a movement (been there a long time). The one piece ceramic dial has been broken and glued in several places. The minute hand is missing; the weight and small counterweight and pendulum are present. Decorative size is less than 8 feet. 89 inches
