Catalog Description:

C.1850, French, Large Walnut Cartel clock with finely detailed carving of flowering vines. This clock is deep, front to back and the blossoms are all full bodied. The 8-day silk thread movement is well made and with a thread you pull to start the pendulum without sticking your hand behind the clock. The original hands got lost, and these were just put on for appearance, but this clock is well worth investing in a set of special hands (need long hubs). Carved wooden dial retains original ormolu numerals. I believe I have never seen a more attractive clock of this style. Height 31.5'
