Dial Signed Courvoisier and Comp., 19th Century
the movement numbered 10404.
Height 9 3/4 inches.
Property from a Private Collector, Lincolnwood, Illinois
Condition
Lacking a winding key. The screen covering the door of the movement is detached from the door frame upon opening; stays in place when latched closed. Case with some rubbing to gilt decoration particularly on sides of hood. The dial is likely later, no flakes or chips around winding apertures that one would expect to see with age and use.. Works appear intact but clock does not take a wind (winding key from other clock used to attempt to wind), in need of servicing prior to use. Works with four mallets striking two bells.
