Brass cased timepiece (time only) with an unmarked French movement (mechanism). These types of cast brass cases were made in England from the 1840’ s to the end of the century in various styles. In France, decorative cases such as this were predominantly of Ormolu or gilded Spelter. It is possible that the timepiece was wholly produced in France but also possible that the case is English, either way, it is certainly produced in a French style. The French movement is unmarked with a Valet type suspension.
Timepiece only
The timepiece comes with a pair of brass candle sticks which appear contemporary but probably not original to the clock.
