Title: Antique 18th Century Comtoise Tall Case Clock, Carved Wood, Lantern Style Movement
Description:
Up for auction is a stunning piece of history—an 18th-century Comtoise tall case clock, brimming with character and charm. This exquisite timepiece is a genuine artifact from a bygone era, providing a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike to own a piece of horological art.
Movement: The clock features a mesmerizing lantern-style movement, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship of the 18th century. The cast dual boasts delicate porcelain cartouche numerals, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the piece. Please note that the movement has not been tested, as we do not have the ropes to hang the weights. However, all gears appear to move freely, indicating a well-preserved mechanism inside.
Case: The tall case is a true work of art, carved meticulously throughout, exhibiting the expert craftsmanship of its time. The wood shows amazing signs of wear, as expected with a 250+ year-old clock, adding to its authentic charm and historical value. The top hood of the clock is designed to fold open, providing access and a glimpse into the clock’s internal beauty.
Condition: Please be aware that the top of the case appears to have undergone some damage in its distant past, with evidence suggesting that there may have been more carved decoration that has since been broken off. This detail does not detract from the clock's overall appeal but rather adds to its story and the journey it has undertaken through time.
