About the Item

Huge and Enchanting Late 19th Century Moon Face Clock Tower Hands.

These hands embody a perfect blend of craftsmanship, artistry, function and history. Pointed hands, with Gilt Moon faces. Iron and Tole. Rare and impressive. Bespoke made mounting plate to display and move hands into any position for display. France Circa 1860.
