NORMAND LONGCASE GRANDFATHER CLOCK

Very rare longcase clock in carved oak known as "Demoiselle de Coutances" (Young lady from Coutance). The three-part case comprises three glazed doors for the top, a door in the front plus a small glazed circular door and a rare side door in the central part, making a total of six doors. Superb bronze pins and decoration from the Villedieu-les-Poeles brass foundery. Original lantern movement, faience dial and very attractive carved and embossed brass fronton representing two phoenix with central shield uner a basket of flowers. High quality late 18th C mechanism in bronze and iron, back escapement, chains and pulleys with a single 5.7 kilo weight (anchor escapement and hooded bell). Again rare for the period, the clock has an eight-day striking movement. The movement has been fully cleaned and revised by a clock-maker. Made in Normandy in the late 18th-early 19th C
