France, month-running Comtoise clock, 30 day, time and strike, weight driven movement, verge escapement with thread suspension and rear-hanging pendulum in an iron post and plate frame, white enamel dial with concave center and convex chapter, Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic numerals every five minutes, two pierced iron hands, pivoted brass winding arbor shutters below the dial, all topped by a cast fronton featuring the sun flanked by putti and displaying the star symbol used during the French Restoration Period. Early "creuse" shaped enamel dial has some hairline cracks and a few repaired areas on the edge and where the mounting posts are located. Cast fronton had a small casting flaw on the left side of the sun. Black portions of the case have been repainted. The bell is a replacement and a bit too small. The movement is clean and has new red cord on the wood winding drums. The strike train has five wheels with the motion works being driven off of the third. Four bladed iron fly with large cutouts along the arbor. Wide feet on the movement uprights. Suspension shroud is 4.25 inches tall. The time train will require a larger-than-usual weight to power this clock. No pendulum or weights are included.
