Description

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A beautiful antique French gilt bronze clock by A. D. Mougin. Modelled in architectual form and covered with scrolling acanthus decoration to represent a romantic ruin. To the top is an urn with pinapple finial and handles formed as torches entwined with foliage. The front of the clock is of pieced foliage to allow a glimpse of the pendulum gently swinging within.

The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with a gilt bronze centre, original blued steel hands and convex glass.

The French movement is of high quality and is by A. D. Mougin. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. We have a video of the clock, please ask and we will send you a link or paste the following into your browser: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=253056621172644

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration. The dial is also in very good condition just some nibbles and a light crack near the left hand winding hole.

Louis XV clocks originated during the 18th-century Rococo period in France, characterised by asymmetry, curved lines, and elaborate naturalistic motifs.

These timepieces are typically constructed from cast bronze that has been mercury-gilded, commonly referred to as ormolu, featuring enamel dials and precision mechanical movements.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the quality of the bronze casting, the presence of hand-chiselling, original mercurial gilding characteristics, and maker signatures on the brass movement plates.

Placing the clock as a focal point on a simple mantelpiece or console table allows its intricate metallic details to contrast effectively against clean, contemporary lines.

Maintenance requires dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding all chemical cleaning agents that could strip the delicate ormolu surface, and professional servicing of the mechanical movement.
