This beautiful Crystal Regulator or Four Glass Clock is French-made circa 1890. The case is brass. Four beveled-edged glass panels make up the sides. The front panel is bowed, and the glass and the frame conform to the shape. Applied decorative pierced castings are mounted on two of the horizontal planes. One is located at the base, and the other is below the cornice molding. This is brightly finished and contrasts with the structure of the case. The front door opens to allow one access to the dial. The back door allows one access to the pendulum and the French-made movement. All of the polished brass surfaces have been protected with a light lacquer finish. 

The Japy Freres movement is brass and is of very good quality. It is spring powered and designed to run eight days on a full wind and to strike each hour on the hour on a coil gong that is mounted at the back of the movement. This clock also strikes once each half hour. The back plate of the movement features several die-stamps, including the Japy Freres die-stamp.

The enamel dial is nicely formatted with a closed time ring. Large Roman-style hour numerals mark each hour, and smaller Arabic-style numerals are used as quarter-hour markers. The enamel ring is framed around the perimeter with a cast brass French sash. The interior field of the dial is decorated with a brass surface. Fancy steel-formed hands indicate the time.

This clock measures approximately 13.25 inches tall, 8 inches wide, and 6.25 inches deep.
