C.E. Petit French inlay portico, ca. 1900.
A 19.5-inch tall French portico in excellent condition.
The wood grain and blond inlays are unmarred and intact.
The front twisted columns are painted, there is a brass cast bezel
and an elaborate cast brass pendulum with a center inset.
The porcelain dial does show some light hairlines and the top piece
needs to be glued down.
French trefoil hands.
The signed 8-day pendule de Paris movement is running and striking the nickel
bell on the hours and half-hours.
A very nice example, probably from early in the last century.
