Condition: Overall good original condition, there is some discoloration due to its time without a cover, but overall a well made period clock. The thermometer scale should be re-silvered. The unsigned movement has only a number. Simple brass bob on silk thread pendulum. On interesting aspect of the dial is the engine turned center having an uncommon basket weave pattern. Thermometer scale describes temps in French terms, and with "Paris - 1788-1830" Height 19 inches [49.2cm]
