Catalog Description:

C.1865, French, 4-Column Empire Clock, as-found in fair to good condition. This photogenic clock has some veneer chips on the case, and the carcass has warped a bit and split the veneer in a couple other places; something has stained the veneer around the bird inside the portico. There is some worm damage on base, mostly on the left side, however none appears to be active at this time. The well made bell strike movement has an engine turned brass dial on which the gilding is worn. Apparently the original pendulum got displaced and a repairman drilled half dozen holes in cock trying to find the right length for this period pendulum. When excellent, these tend to bring around $1500. Height 19 1/2"
