Original Listing Description

Superb Ornate Antique French 19th Century Crystal Regulator Clock, with Ruby Pallets Open Escapement Movement, in Flawless, Fully Working Condition Elegant, large and ornate clock in flawless condition. Beautiful porcelain dial, ornate hands with an open escapement movement and mercury temperature compensating pendulum. Outside of a tiny right side glass corner chip, I see no damage of any kind anywhere. The movement is clean, strikes perfectly and runs well. It is an 8-day movement, striking hours on the hour and once on half hour. I will include a key. Pictures speak for themselves, but do let me know if you have any additional questions. The clock measures 18" (45.5cm) high. Like all pendulum based clocks (and especially so for crystal regulators), the pendulum has to be properly balanced after shipping for the clock to run. Another high end crystal regulator clock was sold by me on eBay about a year ago. After shipping it to UK, it got stuck in customs and, with no explanation whatsoever, after a month, was shipped back to me. Unfortunately, because of this, I will no longer mail expensive clocks to UK using U.S. Mail. If you are in UK, please contact me first, as I may have to ship it using a different and more expensive service.I am not doing any business, buying or selling, with anyone residing in Russia until Russia withdraws from Ukraine, no exceptions.I am not a clock dealer - I am a clock collector and a member of NAWCC. I currently have more than 200 clocks and I keep buying more, so I have to sell some. I would be selling many more if I had the time to list them...Je parle le français un peu. Si vous êtes français je vous encourage à me parler le français. Please note that I will not ship to an address that is different from the one listed by eBay or PayPal unless the winning bidder can really prove to me that the address is legitimate.My prefered shipping for this is FedEx Home Delivery - UPS has been very bad at handling packages lately. Please note that FedEx shipments require destination's phone number, if eBay does not have yours and you are concerned about releasing it to me, we can find an alternate method of shipping.
