French Crystal Regulator with Green Enamel and Champlevé
A stunning and unusual French crystal regulator. The gilt brass case has full columns of green enamel with gilt highlights at the front corners and is encased with beveled glass. Complementary champlevé enamel trims the base and the top. The clock dial is very decorative featuring a bezel fitted with green and clear brilliants, as is the pendulum bob.
An 8-day movement keeps the time on this lovely clock and marks the hour and half-hour with a pleasing gong strike on a coil. The decorative dial displays the time on Arabic numerals with fleur de lis hands and also features a center of pierced gilt over green enamel. And finally, this clock bears a full restoration and a one-year warranty.
