Country French Antique Painted Comtoise Grandfather Clock

This French eight-day case clock is a weight-driven, pendulum clock. The heavily ornamented pendulum and clock bonnet are typical of the region. Comtoise clocks, also known as Morbier clocks or Morez clocks, are a style of longcase clock made in the French region Franche-Comte (whence their name). Production of these clocks began in 1680 and continued for a period of about 230 years. Features distinguishing this style are a curving "potbellied" case and a greater use of curved lines.
