| 603/09: A fine quality mid-19th century French "Four-Glass" mantle clock in excellent condition and perfect working order. The case is of "Gorge" type with glazed panels all around and doors to the front and back. The 8-day movement has visible escapement to the (perfect) 2-piece enamel dial, and strikes hours & half-hours on a bell. The pendulum is of 'bi-metallic' construction, so that the rod does not expand or contract with temperature, thus the clock is accurate despite the weather! Signed Hy (Henry) Marc, PARIS.
