RIONDET 9 BD POISSONNIERE PARIS' on both dial and movement, original finish ormolu case with extensive cast design of a central turret flanked by winged griffins, a rounded veranda above the dial and clock movement mounted in a rounded bronze simulation of a stone wall with cut-away frieze and scrolling designs above a heraldic pendant.

Condition
Very good condition. There is green verdigris oxidation along one side of the tiled 'roof' above the dial right side, the veranda 'wall' pivots a bit on its mounts. The pronounced convex dial is in excellent condition and is free from scratches, chips, hairlines, repairs or issues of any type, the surface is shiny and fine. The finish of the bronze case is not typical of an antique bronze dore finish. Good running condition. We cannot guarantee the running condition of timepieces post sale following movement and shipping.
