Large Louis XV cartel and its base, * in Boulle marquetry and ormolu, decorated with a cherub on top and a Bacchus holding a fruit basket on the door of the dial, as well as heads of putti, flowers and shells, period 1840-1850 to the nineteenth century.
This cartel is in good condition. The movement is signed "From Moulin Neuf Mollé Paris", but it will work to revise. We have his key and pendulum. He used his key to close the door of the dial (not working).
A note: some accidents and lack of marquetry and bronzes will be cleaned, the subject of the above moves a little and will reattach, normal wear, good looking pictures.
