Wall clock - Wood - 1850-1900 - School-station clock

This is a classic, antique French 'Œil-de-boeuf' wall clock (Ox-eye clock), dating from the late 19th century (circa 1880–1900).

The clock is signed by the clockmaker/reseller Girard & Foucher from the town of Château-du-Loir (located in the Pays de la Loire region in western France).

In the 19th century it was common for local clockmakers or merchants to have their own name and town printed on the enameled dial, while the movement was sourced from large clock factories.

The clock comes with a pendulum and key.
