A rare 19th Century French oak long-case clock

The ogee shaped hood above a shaped moulded cornice, having a square mitred door and two narrow side doors.

The long slender trunk with a matching long fielded panelled, moulded door, resting on a stylish deep ogee shaped base.

The off white circular 30 hour clock face having the original shaped hands.

The clock is yet to be restored, also the case is needing a good clean, polish and wax. A decorator may like to have this painted and highlighted. Could look great in a white, soft blue or green..

Considering the majority of 18th – 20th Century French furniture is so heavily carved. This is quite a rare find. Very desirable lines.
