French Antique Clock circa 1750

By amaboko, 16 October, 2014
Description

This clock was in my Grandfather's antique store in Durban, South Africa. It showed the time as you walked into the store. It has been in my family since that time and been in my parents home. I use it marvel at it as a child since the workings were so robust as it still worked.
