French 19th Century Petite Sonnerie Quarter Repeater Carriage Clock with Alarm, La Esmeralda, Made for Mexican Market, in Great, Fully Working Condition

French Grande and Petite Sonnerie quarter repeater carriage clocks are highly valued by collectors. This clock is Petite Sonnerie in passing (striking hours on the hours and quarters on quarter hours) and Grande Sonnerie on repeat (striking hours and quarters on demand). It also has a lever on the bottom that controls its striking in passing, from Petite Sonnerie to Silent. This clock strikes perfectly in all modes, runs great and alarm works. All functions are perfect. Balanced lever escapement shows some tarnish, as expected, but it is fairly clean and so is the movement. Brass case is very bright and shiny. Dial has several prominent hairline cracks and upper left corner repair. The clock's dial is signed La Esmeralda and was made for the Mexican market. I will include a key. Pictures speak for themselves, but do let me know if you have any additional questions. The clock measures 6.25" (16 cm) high with its handle extended.

My prefered shipping for this is FedEx Home Delivery - UPS has been very bad at handling packages lately. Please note that FedEx shipments require destination's phone number, if eBay does not have yours and you are concerned about releasing it to me, we can find an alternate method of shipping.
