| Antique French Red Tortoiseshell Veneer and Ormolu Table Clock by Vincenti
~ French - Circa 1870 ~
~~ Excellent condition ~~
A Large and impressive table clock, stunning Rococo design and in lovely, ready to display condition. Tortoiseshell veneer has mellowed with age to a lovely antique red and the ormolu mounts are bright and clean.
The clock is a classic Louis XV shape with 'C' scrolls forming the four corners, extending down to the feet. the top is surmounted with a two handled urn filled with flowers.
The large dial is also ormolu and is mounted with 24 enamel cartouches, it is complete with the original delicately fretted blued steel hands and is covered by convex bevelled glass.
Beneath the dial is a window, framed by ormolu swags, in which the sun burst pendulum can be seen swinging.
French movement is by Vincenti et Cie, a well renown maker, their mark is on the movement backplate. It runs for 8 days, strikes on a sonorous coiled gong and is in excellent, clean and running condition having been fully cleaned and overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original.
Condition of the case is very good. The tortoiseshell has mellowed to a beautiful colour. There is some slight and old cracking of the veneer on the top of the case. There are no recent repairs or damage and the veneer looks superb. The ormolu is also in excellent condition with clean and bright finish and there are no losses. The dial is also in very good condition with no damage. The clock displays very well as you can see below!
