Catalog Description:

C.1900, French, Grand Sonnerie Carriage clock, as-found. This clock has had a hard life, but a clockmaker can bring it back to life. The time spring is broken; moreover the time barrel cracked and has been reinforced with a piece of small spring steel wrapped around it and riveted on. Since the barrel is soldered to the great wheel on manufacture, the barrel can be replaced by a good workman. The strike train is complete and sound, but is bound up and not running. The alarm train works fine. Clock has a selector in the base for Quarter hours, Silent, and Hours and Quarters. Side glasses with small chips, front and rear are fine. The porcelain dial is excellent and the hands are original; orig lever platform intact. Dirt in image is on glass, not dial. Can bring $2000 when restored. Height 7"
