Antique French Clock Gilt Metal & Quartz Undercarriage - Outstanding Appearance
SOLD $270.00 Sold: Mar 28, 2020 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
This clock is very unusual in that it shows quartz from "windows" in the metal castings of the frame near the bottom of the foreground. This is achieved by wire supported blocks of quartz held against the metal foundation of the clock (see last picture). The clock keeps accurate time and chimes the hour and half hour softly and unobtrusively No key. A note was taped to the rear of the clock which was handed down to me: "Japy Freses Annes Medailles D'or 1823 - 27 - 394449".
