AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful bronze pendulum clock from France, circa 1850-80!

Not zinc-based, etc., but bronze – ! I think it is also visible in the inner workings. The lovely piece was double gold-plated again at the end of the 1990s with primer, etc., after purchase, because the old gilding had been severely destroyed by various things.
The movement features beautiful blue cartouches on the dial, etc., oiled and in operation, as well as the striking mechanism.
The clock is delivered with the corresponding key, bell, pendulum, etc.

Important to note! When unpacking, do not hold onto the side decorative garlands; they could break – and the clock must stand horizontally.
Thank you.
