For your consideration is this stunning fine rare French Antique Westminster Chime Wall Regulator Clock circa late 1800's. All brass 8 day Time and Strike movement. The Case is completely original, all Walnut and unrestored, with original finish all in very nice condition and good working order. The Clock Height ia a large 42" tall, 15 1/2" wide and 8" Deep. The Clock strikes the Westminster chime on the quarter hour with a full hour count on the hour on 8 long steel Chime rods with a very pleasant sounding chime. For some reason the Clock strikes only once for 12 o'clock and may need an adjustment. The Chime Rod assembly is marked "JF" for Japy Freres et Cie. The movement is marked with F * C in a semi-circle as shown in the photos below. Attractive 7" silvered brass rimmed metal dial pan in nice condition with black Arabic Numerals and black hands. Original convex glass also in nice condition. Pendulum viewing door has three tall thick beveled cathredral top glass panels. The full 3 sided top gallery or widows walk as they are sometimes reffered to carries the crown and top 2 finials. Beautiful carved stepped cornice base drop and lower finials. Wood and Brass Pendulum Bob is 4 1/2" in diameter. Hinged door operates smoothly. Door is finely crafted with all mortise and tendon joints, very sturdy. Four full turned spindle columns flank the each side of the door with applied wood carvings surrounding the dial bezel and convex glass. This antique French piece of history runs strong and currently keeps good time. The entire solid and veneer walnut case is in very nice condition, no repairs and no damage with the exception of a 4 small wood blisters in the veneer finish. Two at the top of the cathredral beveled glass and two near the numbers 2 and 3. All are very minor (1/4"- 1/2" max). Old winding key is included. This Clock will make a statement in any decor in your Home or Office. I pack these Clocks with great care to make the journey without damage.
