French 19th Century Gilded Bronze and White Carrara Marble Lyre Clock with an Oscillating Ring of Brilliants, Striking Movement, in Fully Working Condition. Incredibly ornate, impressive clock in a very famous and highly collectable lyre style. One listing calls it a mystery clock, its movement does not really make it a mystery, but it is a famous type of a French clock, valued more than many mystery clocks. Bronze casting is fine and ornate.

The movement is fully functional and clean, with its original complicated knife-edge compound pendulum with a ring of brilliants. These clocks are for the experienced collectors to set up - its pendulum not only needs to be properly and very carefully balanced left-to-right (like any other pendulum-based clock), but also front to back to ensure that the pendulum does not bind the case. If you are not experienced in this, you will need to invite someone to help you balance it at your house. Hand painted ornate porcelain dial is superb, so are the ornate lyre shaped hands.

Rear bezel is missing its glass, it does not affect the clock value in any way. I will include a key. Pictures speak for themselves but do let me know if you have any additional questions. The clock measures approximately 18 (46 cm) high.
