This 1920's behemouth features an eight day Chartier-Marcus movment, It chimes on the hour and the half hour. The clock case and garnitures have a few fleabites on them but no major damage.
The clock is not currently working (but will be repaired), and the glass on the face has been replaced since these pictures were taken. The speed of the clock movement is set in front just above the 12 on the face of the clock. It uses a double ended key for winding and speed adjustment. I like the spiderwebbing in the brown oynx in the front of the clock.

Garniture are rare in such?
Over time the garnitures get separated from the clock, they get broke. left behind or someone decides to sale the clock and keep the garunitures as bookends. The sets are always more valuable than just the clock. I have bought a few clocks without the garnitures because they were not available.
