Very Nice French Early 19th Century Gilded and Patina Bronze and White Marble Clock with a Striking Silk Suspension Movement, in Excellent Fully Working Condition Great bronze French figural clock with white marble inserts. Patina and gilding look great. The movement could use a good cleaning, but it is fully functional. It has silk suspension, placing this type of a clock into the first half of the 19th century. Movement is stamped with a Samuel Marti medal and a clock maker's na...me. Porcelain dial has a few hairlines, faint, but across the entire dial. The tree behind the maiden is just slightly loose. Bell was removed to take a better picture of the movement, but is included. I will include a key as well. Pictures speak for themselves, but do let me know if you have any additional questions. The clock measures 17.25" (44 cm) high. This clock, like any other pendulum based clock, has to be put in-beat when setting it up after shipping, otherwise it may not run. There are many videos on line showing how to do this and I am happy to help with advice as well.I am suspending all international shipping until the current pandemic is under control to avoid trips to the post office. I am not a clock dealer - I am a clock collector and a member of NAWCC. I currently have more than 200 clocks and I keep buying more, so I have to sell some. I would be selling many more if I had the time to list them...Je parle le français un peu.

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.
