AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique Comtoise clock

Magnificent antique clock with authentic charm, featuring an enamel dial with Roman numerals and a rich gilded metal pediment depicting a rural scene (horse-drawn carriage, figures, and a village). A true statement piece that will bring a vintage, warm touch to your interior.

The mechanism is accessible, with its original gears, and its two weight-driven drums. The striking bell is present but broken. The clock requires substantial overhaul (visible wear and oxidation), making it an excellent base for restoration or for decoration.

Features:

Type: antique mechanical clock (Comtoise type)

Dial: white enamel, Roman numerals

Material: metal / gilded brass for the pediment

Mechanism: weight-driven (cords present) with the pendulum missing

Condition: as-is, in need of overhaul/restoration

Decor: relief rural scene

Ideal for collectors, antique enthusiasts, or restoration projects.
