Hi
I have for sale a very rare large fully gilded with enamel panels1880s French crystal regulator mantel clock that is in stunning condition for the age with an original brass case and fully serviced eight day striking movement run via original pendulum.
This clock is simply stunning the case shines in the sun light and has the most stunning hand painted enamel panels of Chinese figures in the form of a lady one side a man the other and children at play at the front.
The Case
The case is in solid very shiny gilded brass and standing 38cm high x 22cm wide with a depth of 16cm it is in very good original condition very shiny and has been very well looked after over the years.
All panels again are in mint condition.
The Dial
The dial is in original condition with bold gold Roman numerals and the clock set off with the original gilt spade hands.
The Movement
The movement is an eight day time and strike striking the hours and halves on a large sweet bell a real quality movement, which still retains the original key and brass pendulum.
The movement keeps good time over the eight days; just been serviced and running very strong)
All the wheel work is ultra fine the cutting out is of top quality this would have been a very expensive clock back in the day and I think one of the best for sale at the moment by far.
Please do not miss this one you might not see a clock like this again you could wait a very long time to see another ,it is stunning in the flesh.
Overall a very beautiful rare clock in its original condition that’s looking great on display keeping great time.
I will post worldwide at your risk but collection would be best.
