French antique silver four glass clock

A silver-plated French four glass mantel clock, dating from the turn of the twentieth century.

The 4 inch white enamel dial has an outer ring with Roman numerals, and a recessed centre with visible Brocot-type escapement, which “see-saws” with the movement of the pendulum.

The eight-day drum movement is signed A.1 within an oval, and numbered 8480. It strikes the hours and the passing of the half hour on a bell.

It has a twin vial mercury pendulum, with a polished brass top and base.

The plating is in exceptional condition, and the glasses to all sides are beveled and without fault.

• Height: 14 inches (35  cms)
• Width:  8 inches (20.5 cms)
• Depth: 6½  inches (16.5 cms)

The movement is overhauled and guaranteed for 3 years.
