Charles Klaftenberger was trading from 1863 to 1881. Aubert & Klaftenberger traded in London from 1839 to 1857 and are recorded again in 1881. Alone or in partnership these two retailed some of the very finest French clocks.

The initials JBD on the movement are a monogram of Jean Baptiste Delettrez who is recorded as living in Paris circa 1845 until circa 1885.

Overall this is an impressive clock of small proportions decorated to all sides.

The case is in fine original condition with the tortoiseshell and boulle work in perfect order.

The clock has been sympathetically cleaned and the movement fully restored to a high standard by our FBHI restorer with 12 months guarantee.
