Comtoise clock - Antique Metal, Brass - 1850-1900
Antique French "Comtoise" (Morbier) wall clock with a "lyre" pendulum — DELSOL — second half of the 19th century
An authentic, exceptionally well-preserved French "Comtoise" (Morbier) clock, dating back to the second half of the 19th century. This impressive piece features a large brass pediment with exquisite relief decoration, topped with figures of cherubs (putti).
The white enamel dial is in excellent condition for its age; it displays classic Roman numerals and the maker’s signature, "DELSOL." The original, hand-crafted brass hands are still present, and the dial is free of any significant damage or cracks—a great rarity for an object of this age.
The item comes as a complete set, which significantly enhances its value:
• Movement: A traditional iron-framed movement with brass gears, an original escapement, and functional cables wound around drums. The mechanism is in very good, clean, and fully operational condition.
• Pendulum: A magnificent "lyre" style pendulum (featuring multiple rods)—highly sought after by collectors—with a large, polished bob.
• Weights: Includes both original, heavy cast-iron weights.
This is an outstanding example of classic French horology—an excellent choice for collectors or a striking decorative piece for any interior.
The photographs are an integral part of the description.
Due to the fragile nature of the item, the clock will be shipped in two separate parcels to ensure its safety during transit!
We guarantee secure, careful packaging; all shipments are fully insured.
