Couaillet Brass Lantern Clock
The clock is surmounted by five finials and has a strapped bell The finials and feet are solid brass and all in excellent condition. The pediment has the classic elaborate fret work in the upstands.
Dates to 1910.
The movement is by Couaillet, brass and stamped "R&C" for Richard & Co, who retailed the piece.
This example comes to you in very nice condition both cosmetically and functionally.
The brass is in great condition, nice old patina.
Please note there is paint loss to the infill of the numerals, but after 110+ years it cannot be perfect.
The clock has a platform escapement movement, the balance wheel is fine, been running for a few days now, keeping good time.
Comes with it`s double ended key which I believe to be original.
Measures 9 1/4" (23.5cm) tall to the top of the finial by 3 5/8" (85mm) square and weighs 1.64kg, therefore International shipping will be expensive. Thanks to Geoff for his information on the clock.
Terms & Conditions
-
We strive very hard to offer a fast and efficient service at all times. After all, a happy customer is potentially a returning customer. However, even we are 'human', and although such occurrences are very rare, if any purchase is not as described please get in touch by either direct email or through the Ebay messaging service and we assure you that we will work to resolve any issues you may have. If any item is wrongly advertised a refund will be issued on the safe arrival back with us of the purchased item. All we ask is that you contact us prior to returning the item so we know to expect a return.
-
We try to be as flexible as possible and offer the following methods of payment. Cheques (GBP£ only), Postal Orders & Paypal. Although we agree it is convenient, Paypal is a costly method, to us, of accepting payment so if you can at all possibly use one of the first mentioned 3 choices we would be grateful but it is the customer's choice and we thank you for which ever payment method you decide to use.
-
Most of our items will show a recorded option price and a special delivery price for UK customers. Judging the postage required can be difficult when items are offered on a low start no reserve auction basis.If we have quoted only for special delivery it is because we firmly believe the item will exceed a value of £30 and like to make sure the item is fully insured(loss only for glass/ceramics) for its journey through the postal system. If for any reason your item does sell for in excess of £30 but you would prefer a cheaper option (recorded delivery), please let us know. As long as the item is sent by a method which requires a signature on delivery we do try to be as flexible as possible. For overseas buyers all goods will be sent via Royal Mail International Signed For. Some items will show an optional choice for insurance. This again is if an item sells for more than £30 extra insurance can be taken out for the full value of the item. If it is marked insurance included and item sells for example at £100 we have assumed it would and the insurance has already been included in your price. The overseas price may be seen as no price given, This will only happen if an item weighs in excess of 2Kg as the price at this weight bracket is determined by Geographical location so if interested please contact us for a quote to your country of residence.
-
At checkout, if you have bought more than one item please wait until we send you an invoice as we always combine postage costs. We want you to be happy and return again and again which is something we feel the customer will not do if they feel they have been grossly or unfairly charged for postage. Please note under no circumstances will we send any goods by international surface mail. Nor will we send to an address if paid by Paypal which is not the registered address through Paypal.
-
We regularly have customers buying/winning an item but wish to wait a little longer before settling their bill as they may want to bid on further items, This is not a problem what so ever. Just drop us a quick note saying you wish to delay your payment as you intend to purchase further goods. We will send you a combined invoice when you are finished purchasing.
