Bulle Nº 11536

This clock is a tall movement from about the second year of recorded production. Not much has changed although the hands are of the fine spade type instead of the moon style. They look to be original with the clock. The rest of the clock looks to be pretty standard with no modifications or add ons that we can tell at first glance. The dial is certainly in fine condition with no major marks or stains.

The Base is somewhat tired with various abrasions and dents. It is just a little to far gone for a clean and a coat of wax so it will be cut back and French Polished. But I’ll keep as much of the character as I can by only removing the polish and leaving as much of the surface colour and patina as possible including the lumps and bumps. A worrying aspect can be seen when the main frame of the clock is removed. Note the six screw holes when the column only has three! This mean that the clock has been apart sometime in the past and for some reason it was decided to move the column ring around. Maybe there is a broken screw in the wood somewhere. Either way it means there may be other problems ahead.
