19th Century French Morbier Long Case Clock

Design Plus Gallery presents a 19th Century French Morbier Long Case Clock. A sculptural timepiece clock that speaks to rural French horological tradition. The tall wooden case showcases hand-shaped contours and a vertically oriented window revealing an ornate embossed metal panel, adding depth and visual interest throughout its height. The clock face displays classic Roman numerals with decorative hands set within an elaborately detailed metal surround, offering a glimpse into period workmanship and design sensibilities of the era. The natural patina across the wood and metal elements reflects decades of history, giving the piece an authentic, timeworn presence well suited for interiors seeking character and provenance.
This Morbier clock does not come with a key and is no longer operational, making it ideal for decorative display rather than timekeeping. Visible distress and age-related wear are present throughout and consistent with its 19th-century origin. In good condition, visible and minimal wear from usage.
