The arched velvet dial has a silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals and blue steel hands, and cast filigree below inscribed ‘Lerolle / FRERES / A Paris’, the twin train striking movement stamped ‘LEROLLE FRES / PARIS’, with Japy Freres works.The case mechanism is modern for the time, as a button opens the front of the case, and the entire front moves out to the side. This antique French mantel clock for sale dates from c1860. The clock runs as it should. The plate at very top is removable for access and has been refinished. another great clock from https://valuableclocks.com see video at https://valuableclocks.com/2024/07/10/old-clocks-can-amaze-you/ Prior sales of Lerolle clocks start at around $4,500-5,000 and I found two ratty ones. All else is in the $20-40,000 range, making this one a sheer bargain.
