No. 571 CUM
10-inch Comtoise clock with verge escapement and folded pendulum, dating from around 1840. Two-part pressed decorative front plate depicting two ten-petaled flowers, entwined with vine leaves and grapes. It appears as if the vine leaves and grapes grow into the upper decorative corners. However, the groove cleanly separates the upper section from the decorative corners, so that on the second pressed part with its two corners these could be cleanly cut off and then mounted as lower decorative corners after being rotated by 180 degrees. Full-hour strike on bell with repetition of the hour strike. Strike release by spring pressure, half-hour strike en passant. Enamel dial signed in violet lettering: Barlot à Beaulou 1840. Floral garland around the place name.
Dial diameter: 249
