ANTIQUE FRENCH BURL WALNUT & EBONISED DRUMHEAD MANTEL CLOCK 4 RESTO c1870


Please make use of the enlarge feature on the photos to see if you can see the potential in this lovely clock requiring restoration.

Hopefully this clock will make its way to someone who can see through the grime and issues, and also has the skill/where-for-all to be able to resurrect this lovely clock.

The pictures should show the lions share of what on offer. The drumhead case is sound although filthy. It has some very nice  burl walnut inlay, bounded by brass stringing. It also has those very nice, original roundals with the "Roman?" male & female heads on. It measures 13 inches wide, 10 inches high and 6 inches deep.

The Japy Freres movement winds and ticks, and strikes, but is missing the pendulum. The glass and bezel are in good order....not so the dial, damage round both winders.

So there it is, waiting for the right new owner to either bring it back to its former glory, or worse case, use as spares. Obviously, sold as "spares or repairs".
