Lot 1378 , A French carriage clock with alarm, gong-striking movement, in a contemporary leather case, 17cm high

A French carriage clock with alarm, gong-striking movement, in a contemporary leather case, 17cm high
£250-350

Condition:
Dial with diagonal hairline crack upward from bottom, going through subsidiary alarm dial and almost reaching 5; all glasses good; stain to one side of base. Movement has been wound and appears to work, running a little slow over the last four hours, but not guaranteed. Case generally poor: damages include detached cover caused by worn-out hinge; leather finish bruised, scratched, worn; glass and carrying handle missing; case not original to this clock because case cover was clearly intended for a repeating clock, with push-button operation.
