Description
The delicate case is crafted from white agate (very rarely used in clocks) and is adorned with numerous decorative elements made from Zemek. The movement is housed in a gold-plated drum made of sheet brass, which is secured to the upper section of the portal. The case is in good, undamaged condition. The fine pendulum movement, featuring a hook escapement and half-hour strike (via a lock disc), has been fully overhauled by a master watchmaker and runs for approximately 14 days. The fine silver-plated dial is slightly worn but well preserved. The offer includes a matching pendulum and 1 matching key. Dimensions of the clock: Height: 35 cm Width: 16 cm Depth: 11 cm I am including the side tables as a free extra, as they are unfortunately damaged.
