Catalog Description:

C.1750, French, Louis XV, Boulle clock in very good original condition. The case has had some glue blocks renewed and the back is painted black. The well made time and pull repeat movement is signed Collier, Paris . This would likely have been Bernard Jacques Collier, who designed an "all or nothing" repeat mechanism. Two bells are mounted on top of the case and the articulated hammers rise through the case top. The cast brass dial has proper hour cartouches, with internal quarter hour divisions and minute divisions on the outer chapter. Hands are original. The red tortoise shell veneer has minor losses, but is in excellent overall condition. This is a great pre-Revolutionary clock that is certain to appeal to the French collector. It is also a size that will fit in any home. Overall height 36"
