A tall and beautifully proportioned 19th-century French provincial longcase clock featuring a traditional Comtoise (Morbier) movement and original hand-painted decoration.
The enamel dial is signed “à Poitiers,” confirming French origin. It is framed by an elaborate gilt and repoussé brass surround adorned with floral garlands, cabochon-style roundels, and subtle polychrome accents. The pierced steel hands and Roman numerals retain wonderful period character.
The elegant lyre-shaped waist reveals an ornate decorative pendulum panel with raised floral motifs. The pine case is hand-painted with charming folk floral decoration at the hood, waist, and base.
The movement is a traditional French iron-frame Morbier mechanism with bell strike and dual winding arbors for time and strike. Weight-driven.
At just 8.5 inches deep, this clock has a slim profile rarely found in longcase clocks, making it ideal for hallways, narrow walls, and layered European interiors.
A sculptural and decorative statement piece with authentic provincial character.
