Catalog Description:

C.1880, French, Empire style, 4-pillar mantel clock. This is an ebonized wood case with gilt mountings, and with original bright gilding; note spilling cornucopias both top and bottom. The top of the case has a little loss of the finish above the right pillar. The left front and back pillar have some loss of the finish also (from pendulum hitting pillar in an earlier move with pendulum attached). The well made round French movement has an anchor escapement and bell strike, but most notably is set up with a seconds hand on the silvered dial. The movement has been professionally cleaned and appears to be in running order. Height 21.75 inches
