Catalog Description:

C.1840, France, Pons, Paris for, Potonie Leon, Paris quarter striking candle stand clock, in good original condition. Despite the fact that this clock is need of mechanical adjustment, it is one of the earliest examples of a rack quarter striking movement from France; Pons received many horological awards, especially for manufacturing advances in movements. Movement retains its original French anchor escapement. Although the strike train is warning at each quarter, for some reason the hammers are not activating. The blue and white porcelain dial has a hairline above 6, and retains original dial signature of Potonie Leon, Paris; the name is repeated on the movement as well. The dome has no cracks nor chips. The vertical post that supports the movement retains its original gilding. A good, original clock with significant potential. Height of clock 9.5 inches, with dome 12 inches
