This 1950s–1960s Rococo-style Lancel Paris par Kern 400-day mechanical table clock is made of brass, mineral glass and red lacquer, and is not currently working.
Description from the seller
Magnificent and authentic mechanical table clock known as a “400-day” clock (anniversary clock), marketed by the prestigious French firm Lancel Paris and fitted with a high-precision movement made in West Germany by Kern around 1960
Excellent visual condition. The brass has retained its beautiful original gilding; no glass panels are cracked or missing. Very light patina from age.
The key is included, but I am not sure it is original.
The mechanism needs servicing/adjustment. The suspension spring is not broken. The pendulum swings for a few moments when started manually, then eventually stops. The clock is sold as is, ideal for a collector, an enthusiast of antique clocks, or for professional servicing.
Good luck bidding, everyone!
As with all my items listed for auction on this site, this wonderful piece has not been cleaned (only dusted) or altered since I bought it.
Any damage not mentioned in the text but visible in the photos is considered to have been described.
If you are outside the European Union, you may bid on one of my lots; however, no claims will be accepted in the event of a problem during shipping. Due to the new import/export regulations in the USA, shipping to that country will no longer be available.
Carefully packed professional shipping, with signature required and insurance.
