Grandfather Clock with calendar, moon phases, 18th

Rare grandfather clock with calendar, showing the moon phase, date, time, minutes and seconds, dial engraved with copper counters for phases of the moon and the date signed by the watchmaker Nicolas Blondel * Guernsey, antique eighteenth century.

This clock is in good condition but will be restored. The ring tone is a bell / 2 hammers. It strikes the hour and half hour. We have a weight, its balance but not the key.

It is sold in his cabinet in oak, fully pegged.

A report: the missing seconds hand, wear and scratches in the screen, missing pieces of the cornice of the lower cabinet, accident on the firm (see red arrows), wood cracks and wear, see photos.



* The watchmaker Nicolas Blondel in Guernsey is referenced in the index of "Antiquarian Horlogery" (2007-2008).
