Product description
An authentic French Comtoise station clock, manufactured by the clockmaker G. Métrat in Romans. This type of wall clock, dating from the period 1850-1890, is known for its robust mechanism and characteristic appearance, including the prominent bell and the lyre pendulum.
The clock is constructed from a combination of materials typical of its time. The frame and the pendulum are made of brass, which gives a warm, golden glow. The dial is made of white enamel with clear black Roman numerals and is signed by the maker. The movement is powered by heavy, pear-shaped cast iron weights, hanging from ropes.
This timepiece is in good condition, consistent with its age and use. The brass shows a natural patina that contributes to the historical character of the object. The clock is complete with its original parts, including the pendulum and weights, and the mechanism is visible, offering a fascinating insight into its operation.
This Comtoise clock is a striking object that can form a focal point in an interior with a classic, rural, or design decor. It is a piece with a rich history that is both functionally and decoratively valuable, for example, in a hall, living room, or kitchen.
