France, Delettrez and Brocot, large 3 dimensional marble tambour clock with perpetual calendar and moon phase on the dial, the black slate accented with moldings of green- grey and black variegated marble. With a robust and oversize movement carrying the calendar mechanism between the front plate and the dial, rather than with a separate mechanism & dial, as we commonly see, c1860 Delettrez and Achille Brocot, son of the respected clockmaker Louis-Gabriel Brocot, established the clock making company "Brocot et Delettrez" in Paris on 20 October 185. This particular clock bears the movement signature "A. BROCOT & DELETTREZ, PARIS". There are minor edge abrasions and roughness to the slate that can be felt with fingertips, but overall very good condition. The movement appears clean, ticking and striking, but may need adjusting.
