A 19th century boulle twin train mantel clock, the 'P. Japy et Cie' movement, no. '1271 4 6', striking the hours and half hours on a gong, the 3 ¾in. gilt dial with Roman cartouche enamel numerals and cast floral decoration, within a balloon shaped case with foliate and rocaille mounts and conforming surmount, 15in. (38cm.) high, with key. * Condition: Winds and runs. Strikes correctly. Very original condition - no evidence of restoration. Case is quite dirty and dusty. Some surface rust to gong.
