Cartel en bronze doré d'époque Louis XV, le cadran et le mouvement signés André Furet / A PARIS

inscrit dans une caisse mouvementée ornée de branchages fleuris et de volutes rocaille

Illustration is quite accurate. Good overall condition, very few tiny cast faults. Very nice chasing and gilding, scarcely stained or rubbed. A little wear to the enameled dial (not distracting). Movement seems complete (with a winder) but we do not guaranty the working order of the mechanism. Exquisite and attractive timepiece.
