Fascinating table clock of museum quality,
Stille A. Boulle,
France, first half of the 1900s
Difficult size to come by
German 8-day movement
Chimes on the half hour
A real gem for beauty and quality, made with all the trappings of the period
Briar with floral decorations, bronze inlay in dial with Roman numerals (some with paint sticking out — can easily be restore)
The upper part is surmounted by an impressive bronze sculpture depicting the Greek god Chronos, sovereign of time.
The clock is in perfect working order (mechanism has been serviced and cleaned), and is in better-than-good aesthetic condition (See the photos of the clock, which shows its actual condition.). The wood is sticking out slightly at the bottom on the back of the clock (see photos).
