Great Antique French Figural Bronze Mantle Clock

Great Antique French Figural Bronze Mantle Clock

Great   is this gorgeous French mantle clock, manufactured in France as I believe around 1830. The clock made from solid bronze with absolutely beautiful 3 bronze figures of putties, which are parting the curtain to show the dial. The clock has  wonderful bronze decorations and bronze feet in the form of elephant’s head, as I never seen before. The lower part of the clock case is reticulated and this allows to see moving sunburst pendulum. The clock is approximately 17 1/2″ high, 10″ wide and 8 1/2″ deep and very heavy.  The movement has 2 stamps of manufacturer on the back plate. The movement was professionally cleaned and oiled, the mainsprings were changed and now it looks and works perfectly – it runs and strikes on the hours and half hours. The beautiful dial has no chips or hairlines.  The back door has a glass in it; the glass has small chip, not very visible. The clock comes with the pendulum and the key. The shipping cost in 48 continental states is $60 with insurance and tracking number. If you want to pick up the clock in Chicago, than after the end of the auction you have to call me at (847)903-7134 to arrange the meeting, bring money and take the clock.  I am open to reasonable offers. No International shipping.
