Here we have a lovely inlaid oak cased French striking mantle clock in what is called a balloon, the oak case is in lovely condition for its age and does have some age related marks, there is a small shrinkage crack on the top of the case it looks to me it is where the veneers join, on the front there is some nice inlaid detail.
The dial again is in nice condition with no chips or cracks, it has what looks like Binson Bros London stamped on it, it is surrounded by a brass bezel.
The movement has been completely stripped cleaned and overhauled in our workshop using the correct fluids and oils, it is working well and keeping good time, it strikes every hour and half hour on a coiled gong, it has the makers mark for Couaillet Medailles Made in France
It measures 18cms x 34cms x 13cms and comes with a key.
