Large Antique French Black Forest Elaborately Carved Wood Clock 19th

Large French 19th Century Black Forest Elaborately Carved Wood Clock with a Striking Movement These types of clocks represent original artwork of their carvers, thus are highly valued. Incredible clock. Case maintains deep beautiful color and its carving is very detailed. Japy Freres 8-day count wheel striking movement could use a good cleaning, but it is fully functional. Carved dial with cartouche numerals. Original pendulum with serial number matching the movement's. I will include a key as well. Rear door is missing glass, this is very minor, easy to replace. The top bird's rear wing is missing its tip, seems old, maybe it was a flaw of the carver (see the last photo). Pictures speak for themselves, but do let me know if you have any additional questions. The clock measures 21.5" (55 cm) high. No international shipping on this one, it is too large and one solid piece of wood. I am not doing any business, buying or selling, with anyone residing in Russia until Russia withdraws from Ukraine, no exceptions. This clock, like any other pendulum based clock, has to be put in-beat when setting it up after shipping, otherwise it may not run. There are many videos on line showing how to do this and I am happy to help with advice as well. I am not a clock dealer - I am a clock collector and a member of NAWCC. I currently have more than 200 clocks and I keep buying more, so I have to sell some. I would be selling many more if I had the time to list them...

Please note that I will not ship to an address that is different from the one listed by Pricetronic or PayPal unless the winning bidder can really prove to me that the address is legitimate. My prefered shipping for this is FedEx Home Delivery - UPS has been very bad at handling packages lately. Please note that FedEx shipments require destination's phone number, if Pricetronic does not have yours and you are concerned about releasing it to me, we can find an alternate method of shipping.
