A French mid-18th century Louis XV period walnut longcase grandfather clock from the Rhône Valley. This French tall walnut clock features a rectangular head topped with a bonnet pediment surmounting a rocaille motif. The face is made of a combination of gilt metal adorned with various scrolls, and a pewter ring and medallion. Traditional and Roman numbers indicate the hours and minutes.
