French made Crystal Regulator mantel clock. Featuring an oval shaped case. 214124.

This very attractive Crystal Regulator was made in France circa 1890. This case is constructed in brass and features an oval form and applied cast brass decorations. The brass has been recently polished and lacquered. All four sides of the case are fitted with glass panels. These panels feature beveled edges and are bowed to conform to the oval shape of the case. The front and back of this case are fitted with doors. These provide access to the dial and movement. 

The Vincenti made movement, a testament to precision engineering, is made of brass and is of exceptional quality. It is spring-powered, designed to run eight days on a full wind and to strike each hour on the hour on a wire gong mounted to the back of the movement. This clock also strikes once on the half-hour, a testament to its reliable functionality. The pendulum, in the traditional format of two glass vials supported in a brass frame, adds to the clock's charm and functionality. 

The porcelain dial, a canvas of artistry, is colorfully decorated with a floral wreath, adding a touch of elegance to the clock. This dial is trimmed with a decorative brass bezel, further enhancing its beauty. The time is indicated by the decoratively designed brass hands, a perfect blend of form and function.
