ANTIQUE 19TH C FRENCH MORBIER WAG ON WALL CLOCK PAINTED

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

ANTIQUE 19TH C FRENCH MORBIER WAG ON WALL CLOCK PAINTED 

THIS AUCTION IS FOR A STUNNING ANTIQUE FRENCH MORBIER WALL CLOCK.  THE STAMPED METAL (BRASS OR TIN) SURROUNDING BOTH THE PORCELAIN FACE OF THE CLOCK ALONG WITH THE HANGING PENDULUM IS HIGHLY EMBOSSED WITH DETAILED WHEAT, FLORAL AND FARM SCENE WITH HAND PAINTED WITH COLORFUL ACCENTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRYSIDE OR FARM SCENE. 

ON THE PENDULUM, THE MAN WAS ANIMATED, WHERE HE BENDS UP AND DOWN WHILE HE IS SITTING ON A LOG CHOPPING. AS THE MAN MOVES, THE BARN DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES. THIS IS NOT WORKING AND WE DO NOT KNOW HOW IT WORKED, BUT YOU CAN MOVE THE MAN UP AND DOWN AND THE DOOR STILL OPENS IF YOU DO IT BY HAND.

THERE IS GREAT DETAILING ON THE PENDULUM AND THE PIECE SURROUNDING THE CLOCK.

THE PORECELAIN FACE OF THE CLOCK IS KEY WOUND (KEY IS INCLUDED) WITH ROMAN NUMERALS.  THE CLOCK FACE READS:

QUALITE SUPERIEURE

CH. CATTEVIN

A' GUERANDE

THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES ON THE FACE ALONG WITH SMALL KNICKS BUT THESE DO NOT TAKE AWAY FROM THE BEAUTY OF THIS WONDERFUL ANTIQUE PIECE.

THE CLOCK IS MARKED 1899 LP (SEE PICTURES FOR DETAILS) WHICH COULD BE THE YEAR THE CLOCK WAS MADE.

THE PENDULUM ALSO HAS THE WORD LA CULTURE ON IT.

THERE ARE TWO 8 LB WEIGHTS.

APPROX. 61 INCHES TALL AND 12 1/2 INCHES WIDE

EACH SIDE OF THE CLOCK OPENS UP TO REVEAL THE WORKS INSIDE. 

AS WITH ANY CLOCKS OF THIS AGE IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BY A PROFESSIONAL TO KEEP IT IN RUNNING ORDER FOR YEARS TO COME.

THIS CLOCK IS VERY HEAVY WITH THE TWO 8 POUNDS WEIGHTS AND MUST BE HUNG STRAIGHT AND SECURE ON YOUR WALL.  THE CLOCK ALSO HAS TO BE BALANCED ON YOUR WALL IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK. THERE IS HEAVY DUTY WIRING THE CLOCK HANGS FROM ALONG WITH BRACE BRACKETS ON THE BACK OF THE CLOCK.

WHEN HUNG PROPERLY, THE CLOCK CHIMES WITH A RICH BELL SOUND AND COUNTS THE HOURS, AT 12: O'CLOCK IT WILL RING 12 TIMES.

PLEASE EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS AND THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AT THIS LOVELY QUALITY ANTIQUE TIMELESS TIMEPIECE THAT CAN BE PASSED DOWN AS A FAMILY HIERLOOM FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
