LARGE ANTIQUE FRENCH CARRIAGE CLOCK gong striking JAPY FRERES working LOVELY CON

Description: A large French carriage clock made by Japy Freres in the early 1900s. This two train, 8 day clock striking a gong on the hour/half and offered in lovely condition and good working order. Includes a double-ended key contemporary to the clock. The clock movement was serviced at the start of this month and is running strongly and keeping good time from its original lever platform escapement. The gong is struck once on the half hour and the number of hours on the hour. The lacqered brass case is bright/shiny with only minor wear to the finish.
