Antique Fireplace Clock with Calendar in Ebonised Wood

Dimensions: H x W x D: 37 x 22 x 17 cm

Description:
French mantel clock from around 1840-1860.

The case is made of ebonised wood with brass thread inlays.
On the front we see behind glass the white dial with black roman numerals and gilded bezel. Also gold-plated are the beautiful original arrow-shaped hands.

The hands of the two-part calendar are also in the same design. On the left is the day of the week and on the right the day of the month.

On the back is a wooden flap that protects the movement from dust. If we open the flap, we see the high-quality French 14-day pendulum movement with lock disc striking mechanism and pendulum spring suspension.
It is regulated by a knurled screw that moves the right-angled suspension of the pendulum in height by means of a worm-shaped brass plate. An extraordinary and well thought-out system.
The calendar is switched by the striking mechanism.

Condition:
Clean refurbished condition. The movement and the calendar have been completely disassembled and cleaned from scratch. The clock runs reliably and accurately.
