Condition
The illustration is quite accurate but does not convey the quality of this clock.
Dial and movement are both signed by Du Tertre.
Edge chips to the marble.
Would benefit from a general cleaning which would reveal the fine mercury gilding and the beautiful Louis XVI chasing, rich of lovely details.
