Condition: Please read detailed description Vintage French wooden clock in arch shaped case for restoration Winds up with fixed key, metal ball feet. Made in France Size (approx.): 24cm tall x 15.3cm wide (at widest point) x 8.4cm deep (front to back) Condition: Vintage. Wood is a little worn at the edges and has a split at the rear which looks like it has been filled with a thin slither of wood. The metal is dull in colour and tarnished. Glass is intact. Has a prise off metal back cover, which fits snugly. It has an in-built key which is fully wound. It has a small knob to move the hands but the top comes off the shaft and I can't get a grip to turn it. I started the fly-wheel but it stopped almost immediately, so needs attention. Therefore, selling as non-working, for spares and repair - for a clock expert to give a thorough service and repair if required. It is a very attractive clock
