Condition: this clock has been standing idle for some time, and the cable has deteriorated and will need replacing before operation. The porcelain dial has damage near 11, filled in with white paint (looks OK). The full inscription on the dial is: "Fabrique d'horloges de Bailly, Rue du Chapeau Rouge No. 11, A' DIJON". With a lyre pendulum and two cigar shaped iron weights. The movement has anchor escapement and "Prayer repeat" feature that strikes the hour an additional time at 2 minutes past the hour.
