Description: French Empire, Early 19th Century Gilded Bronze and Marble Urn/Vase Style Clock with a Striking Silk Suspension Signed Movement, in Fully Working Condition Nice early 1800's French Empire clock. Would be really great if it were in top condition, these clocks are quite uncommon and very collectable. But its marble has a good sized repaired break and its hands are not original (proper hands for this clock would have been incised gilt bronze arrow type). The movement is fully functional and signed by Douillon, fairly clean and runs well. Ornate bronze dial with hand painted numerals is superb and signed by Petit. It was very common for the French clocks movements makers to supply their movements to the makers of the case, who then signed the dial. There was never a glass bezel on this clock. Bell and pendulum were removed to take a better picture of the movement, but both are included. I will include a key as well. Pictures speak for themselves, but do let me know if you have any additional questions. The clock measures approximately 16.5" high.I am not doing any business, buying or selling, with anyone residing in Russia until Russia withdraws from Ukraine, no exceptions.This clock, like any other pendulum based clock, has to be put in-beat when setting it up after shipping, otherwise it may not run. There are many videos on line showing how to do this and I am happy to help with advice as well.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.
