nr. 590 cum
10-inch Comtoise clock with anchor escapement and lyre pendulum or folded pendulum from around 1870/1880, one-piece embossed decorative plate depicting a scythe, plowshare, flail, and a large sheaf of grain. This decorative plate, like the plate of clock nr. 589 cum, had a lower extension, so it could also be mounted on 11-inch cages. Not only the type, but also the decorative corners of the two plate models are identical. Several decorative plate models could thus be produced more easily, i.e., especially more cost-effectively.
Half- and full-hour strike on bell with repetition of the hour strike. Enamel dial signed: 1re Qté Gtie (Première Qualité Garantie) Louis GUIBERT Fils à Pau. Polychrome floral vine around the location. Contemporary brass hands.
Dial diameter: 215
Cage dimensions: 253 x 248 x 140 HxBxD + Gong 157
Movement dimensions: 410 x 252 x 155 HxBxD + Gong 182
