Sale room notice
Please note this lot should be described as having half hour sonnerie. These clocks strike full grande sonnerie in passing but only at the half and full hours (not the quarters). When it repeats this clock strikes hours and quarters for each quarter. The catalogue description should say that it has two nested bells struck by two hammers (with a further hammer for the alarm).
