French Provincial Morbier oak longcase clock, 19th c., having arched cornice, above glazed dial viewing door with pie crust trim, brass repousse frame encasing white enameled porcelain dial, marked Dumont Fils a Belley, with Roman numeral hour markers, unmarked time-and-strike movement, rising on tapering body and stepped foot, accompanied by pendulum, key, and (two) weights, chime observed operating, likely in need of adjustment to keep good time, small hole in back panel of dial case, approx 88.5"h, 18.75"w, 11.5"d **Provenance: The lifetime collection of Lynn Roth Jordan (Louisiana, Texas, 1943-2021). As an active member of the Austin Antiques Club for many years, Lynn was deeply embedded in the antiques community here in Austin. Her New Orleans upbringing in a family of collectors (many of the pieces come from her mother's estate), combined with her frequent trips to England, gave her a unique understanding of provenance, quality, and historical significance. The estate features an extensive array of English furniture alongside antique decorative objects, the kind of exceptional pieces that only reveal themselves to collectors who know where to look and what to seek.**
CR 12.5.25 - As mentioned in the catalog description, the clock was observed operating but is in need of adjustment, it winds with ease, both strings and hooks are present, and the chime was observed operating with the weights attached, it is accompanied by a pendulum, the suspension spring is intact, the accompanying key is well-fitting, there is typical patination, denting, and small splits to the repousse frame and typical light crazing to the dial, as with all of our antique clocks, this piece would likely benefit from a professional adjustment and a thorough cleaning of the movement
