Description: Large French 19th Century Black Forest Elaborately Carved Wood Clock with a Striking Open Escapement Movement These types of clocks represent original artwork of their carvers, thus are highly valued. Incredible clock. Case maintains deep beautiful color and its carving is very detailed. Samuel Marti 8-day Brocot open escapement, rack striking movement could use a good cleaning, but it is fully functional. Hand painted numerals porcelain dial. The movement is missing its regulation rod, I normally regulate by adjusting the length of the actual pendulum anyway. I will include a key. Outside of a few age cracks as always (this is 150 year old carved solid piece of wood!), I see no case damage anywhere. Pictures speak for themselves, but do let me know if you have any additional questions. The clock measures 20" (51 cm) high. No international shipping on this one, it is too large and one solid piece of wood.I am not doing any business, buying or selling, with anyone residing in Russia until Russia withdraws from Ukraine, no exceptions.This clock, like any other pendulum based clock, has to be put in-beat when setting it up after shipping, otherwise it may not run. Brocot escapements are particularly sensitive to proper balancing. There are many videos on line showing how to do this and I am happy to help with advice as well.I am not a clock dealer - I am a clock collector and a member of NAWCC. I currently have more than 200 clocks and I keep buying more, so I have to sell some. I would be selling many more if I had the time to list them...Je parle le français un peu.

Please note that I will not ship to an address that is different from the one listed by eBay or PayPal unless the winning bidder can really prove to me that the address is legitimate. My prefered shipping for this is FedEx Home Delivery - UPS has been very bad at handling packages lately. Please note that FedEx shipments require destination's phone number, if eBay does not have yours and you are concerned about releasing it to me, we can find an alternate method of shipping.
