| An unusually large French made portico clock; and the largest we have seen with the novel swing pendulum device that was patented by Forcot of Paris in 1862. When running the cupid pendulum swings to and fro- as if really swinging on a swing- instead or sideways. The ormolu mounts are of very good to best quality castings, and have not been removed to be cleaned or re plated- they don't seem to need it since the original surface can be appreciated despite the accumulation of some discoloration ad dirt over the last years. | |||||
