18th Century French Grandfather Case Clock 8ft High
Stunning, statement making, 8 ft high 18th Century French Case Clock. The solid walnut case is just gorgeous that contains this piece of history. It has some flaws but is very sturdy and stable. The arched pediment does have a crack and a little chip missing. We accidentally broke the original glass in the hinged face cover door. The other oval glass on the large door still has its original glass. The case is put together with dowels, all hand done carving. So beautiful. We have not tried to get this clock to run because I know nothing of getting one to run of this age. That is the reason for the extra low price. The weights and pendulum are with the clock. A couple of newer boards are in the upper case to support the clock itself. The works seem to be in very good shape as well as the clock itself. The brass work and face are just beautiful with very minor wear. The measurements are 11"D x 19"W x 96"H. Truly a fine heirloom to look at and enjoy for more centuries!
