Antique French Empire Striking Ormolu Mantel Clock
Circa 1820
A fascinating clock in the form of a library bookcase, with two children sitting at each side. Raised on a plinth on ormolu feet, the Roman dial is cast ormolu with blued steel Breguet hands.
The clock has a twin barrels movement with silk suspensions anchor escapement, striking the hours and half hours on a bell.
Fully overhauled.
The clock is guaranteed for one year.
