Catalog Description:

Early carved shelf clock, French 8 day round movement, so typical of French movements, strikes a nickel bell on half hours, has an outside count wheel, and is signed by A.G. Mougin. The clock is operating properlyand is running with a slow tick but accurate. Additionally the movementand pendulum are numbered No. 19404. Original and have all been together sinceit was made. What is so mind boggling is that everything you see was oncea solid block of wood. Generally the birds and leaves were carved and glued on after the main case was carved, not so here. I do not see any serious breaksor repairs on birds or leaves. Astounding detail. One piece porcelain dial, French sash, beveled glass. It always frustrates me when I can't find thecarvers initials or name on a piece as nice as this one.
