About the Item

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a very fine and rare precision table regulator of French manufacture dating from the Charles X period which is in outstanding condition having been carefully renovated by two of the finest artisans in the country . The case is veneered in exotic Bubinga and inlaid with contrasting box wood to produce a wonderful case which is glazed on all sides with the front and rear glasses being accessed by removing the pegged top and sliding the glass out .It has been constructed to minimise the ingress of dirt and dust. The finely made and complicated 14 day duration movement is signed Nicole Paris and has a very large visible escape wheel with dead beat escapement mounted outside the back plate. There is micro adjustment for the beat adjustment. The size of the escapement allows the half second beat pendulum to allow the sweep second hand to rotate once in 60 seconds. The good quality pendulum has nine rod gridiron compensation. The movement has been professionally serviced by Overton Clocks of Chesterfield The 4 3/4 inch silvered brass dial unusually displays day and date subsidiary calendar dials and is retained in a finely cast bezel of 6 1/4 inches in diameter which retains all of its original gilding. Please don't confuse this handmade precision clock with the factory made mass produced items sold later in the century. I doubt that this particular type clock was replicated It is 24 inches tall , 12 1/2 inches wide and 9 1/2 inches deep at the base This is a genuine and original clock and I offer a full money back guarantee to this end. Any potential clients are very welcome to view the clock prior to purchase (or pay on delivery)to ensure that they are satisfied with their purchase. This clock is much nicer in the flesh and looks superb. If the asking price is paid in full then I will deliver and set up the clock free of charge to the English mainland, Wales and the Scottish lowlands. I will also provide a 12 months guarantee under these circumstances. This is the same service that is provided by a high street retailer without the customer having to pay for the overheads.
