Antique American Clocks
Veritable "Westminster", ca. 1938?
I haven't had much luck finding information on Veritable, it seems
to be one of several companies (all the same?) in France that make chiming wall clocks in a similar art deco style.
is 27 inches long in oak with a very old finish in need of renewal.
The dial glass is slightly convex, the lower glass with
two silver dividers.
The signed silvered dial shows soiling around the winding arbors but is otherwise in good shape.
The movement is filthy, to use a term I don't like to apply to clocks.
Remarkably, it is running and striking, but the strike
and chime are slow at best.
It will need a cleaning to run efficiently.
The clock strikes on 8 rods behind the movement,
playing Westminster chimes.
This is a basic model, but a little effort will yield a nice wall clock with a lovely chime.
Comes with a French key.
