The marble cased clock is also a work of art with bronze embellishments and brass bezel which contains a beautifully hand painted porcelain dial.. The high quality eight day movement is in excellent condition and comes with its original pendulum... The clock strikes on a bell on the half hour and on the hour for each hour of the day and keeps excellent  time... The original metal hands are also present however the key is not the original...  I have prepared this item for sale at considerable expense by having the movement completely checked cleaned and serviced by a professional clocksmith who specialises in antique movements....The movement is in excellent working condition....
