<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 350884, member: 25&quot;]It appears to be a relatively modern French carriage timepiece (technically, not a clock since it does not strike), a little more decorative than basic examples. I&#039;d need to see the escapement on the top under the glass panel to confirm it is mid to late&nbsp; 20th C. It is gold plated brass, not brass plated. It is decorative rather than collectable. It is one of the few types of mechanical clocks still made to a good standard quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>Photo tips. Never take a picture into the light, ensure the light is behind you to illuminate the object. Always open glass covers such as the back door before photographing whatever is behind them. Unless the picture is of professional quality, huge picture files usually mean the full size picture is just a huge blurry image that shows no more detail than a modestly sized image. For the internet 200KB image files are quite big enough. Your camera may produce 4 MB images but unless they are taken with meticulous skill this level of possible detail and resolution is utterly wasted, the equipment has far outreached the skills of the average user.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS It is a good idea to @ mention me, i would have skipped this post as it does not have a clock or watch or silver title, I tend to skim through new posts looking for subjects I know something about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
