AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful 19th-century boulle clock. Wooden case with tortoiseshell veneer and beautiful bronze ornamentation. Good original movement, Mougin, France. Original pendulum. Runs and strikes perfectly, just back from service by a clockmaker. Photos give a good impression of the condition.

Any potential buyer should be aware that this is an antique/vintage timepiece. It requires specific handling, such as hanging and possibly adjusting it. It is not a quartz clock that can be casually hung or placed anywhere without consideration. The clock you purchased has been calibrated and is running perfectly in my home, and it is (if necessary) accurate.
A (old) mechanical clock movement requires a very regular pendulum movement in its swinging motion. This may mean that a small adjustment of the gaffel (where the pendulum hangs in/at) is necessary. Of course, I am always willing to answer questions.
