Pendulum controller and system columns nineteenth century

Superb and rare pendulum regulator system columns, rosewood and gilt bronze, with two dials (one for second and one for the hours and minutes).

Signed dials of the watchmaker C. * Detouche, pendulum signed the cabinetmaker Pigneret **, vintage nineteenth century Empire.

Two clock dials - Detouche Pigneret * and * - nineteenth century

This clock is in good condition. She will be revised. It strikes the hour and half hour. The dial is signed "C. Detouche B. King Rue St-Martin." The springs are good, it lacks the lamella suspension of the pendulum. The anchor escapement. We do not have the key. The movement is signed "Patented Seconds Allain & Cie Paris" (signature worn).
