Antique French Brass Boudoir Clock

by Barrard and Vignon, Paris

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning antique French boudoir clock. It is Baroque in style, beautifully modelled in brass with a waisted case with elaborate scrolled shoulders. It is decorated with mythical creatures, hairy paw feet and a coat of arms. Above the dial is a cherub mask with a pair of cornucopia above. To the top of the case is an elegant finial of mythical creatures and foliage.

The dial is also brass, mounted with 12 individual enamel cartouches and the original blued steel hands. The glass is convex bevelled.

The French movement is of high quality and has the Barrard and Vignon mark on the movement backplate. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!

Condition of the case is excellent, it is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The dial is also in good condition, there are some chips to the number 9 cartouche and some slight chipping to the number 3. There are also a couple of hairlines.

Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.

About us - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have developed over many years. We employee two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.
