Japy Freres & Co. bow-front crystal regulator, ca. 1900.
A 15-inch crystal regulator with
a beautiful finish and little wear.
There are four beveled glasses in excellent condition with the front glass bowed.
The one-piece porcelain dial is decorated and has blue numbering; there are two fancy pierced gold hands.
The case and dial
are marked Made in France; the signed Japy Freres & Co. movement runs weakly and will need attention.
It strikes on the
hour and half-hour.
The pendulum contains mercury.
A higher end French regulator.
