Movement: The movement style is one that was used from the early 1800’s through 1900. This is a Swedish made steel plated movement with a spiral chime spring. This is a 7 day running clock and chimes on the hour. This is powered by two rectangular shaped cast metal weights and a steel shafted pendulum assembly.
Dimensions in CM: 2.09H x .48W x .28D.
Condition: overall good for a clock from 1803. The are some stress fractures in the join areas, knicks and scratches on case that can be seen up close. The painted finish appears to be original.
The movement has been serviced and tested. It is running with good time and chiming.
If you choose the higher price, I will provide a 1 year warranty on the movement and I will provide you with clock documentation.
Delivery and setup is extra based upon location.
