SOLD $2,000.00 Sold: Dec 26, 2019 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
Great French Empire Bronze Clock Depicting Heracles Made Around 1820 with a Striking Movement, in Excellent Condition
Impressive French Empire clock with an early silk thread suspension movement. Casting of bronze is superb, statue of Heracles maintains original beautiful patina and is of finest quality. The movement is fairly clean and fully functional, except that it strikes on the hours only once, rather than the number of hours. This is because someone removed the strike count wheel - I have no idea why someone would do this to such a fine clock, but it is what it is... A replacemen
