Raingo Frères FL. 1830 An architectural gilt and silvered bronze mantle clock Paris, mid-19th century

the movement by RAINGO FRERES, the case numbered 1886

Please note that the movement has not been checked for functionality. However, the movement is complete and may be put into a working state by a professional horologist. Bell present. No pendulum or winder. Please note that the finial on top of the central turret, most probably a cross, is lacking. Tarnishing to gilt bronze and steel consistent with age. The wooden base is not original to the clock. Please note that fishing wire has been added and activates the chiming of the bell when the mechanism runs.
