Impressive Comtoise wall clock from France, circa 1850, with a beautifully crafted, solid brass crown and original enamel dial. The classic Roman numerals, the delicate hands, and the elegant front ornament make it a typical example of 19th-century French clockmaking. Particularly striking is the long, lyre-shaped pendulum with its multiple twisted rods – a characteristic quality feature of these clocks. The two heavy iron weights are also original and ensure a smooth, reliable timekeeping. The movement is in well-maintained, authentic condition; the finely preserved gears and mechanisms speak to high-quality craftsmanship. This clock is ideally suited for living rooms, entryways, stylish country-style interiors, or collection rooms, where its imposing height and vibrant presence will immediately make it a historical focal point. Made from durable materials like brass and iron, this clock is a lasting cultural artifact, and French Comtoise clocks of this era have a consistent potential for appreciation in value among collectors. This is a truly dream piece that you should treat yourself to while it's still available! See less
