Description

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A lovely antique French clock, boldly modelled in the Rococo style in gilded bronze. Waisted keyhole shape profusely decorated with 'C' scrolls acanthus and floral swags. A large motif is mounted to the front with a cartouche enveloped by acanthus and to the top is an elaborate asymmetric finial.

The beautiful cream dial is porcelain enamel on copper with black letters and finely cut brass hands. The bezel is fitted with convex glass.

The French movement is of high quality and 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.

Originating in France during the early 18th century, the Rococo movement favoured asymmetry, elaborate scrolling motifs, and natural forms like shells and foliage.

These pieces were typically cast in bronze and finished with mercury gilding, a process known as ormolu, which imparted a durable, luminous metallic sheen.

Authenticity is assessed through the weight and quality of the bronze casting, hand-chased surface details, and the presence of period-correct mechanical movements and makers marks.

Placing the clock upon a mantelpiece or a polished surface introduces a focal point of classical texture that contrasts effectively against minimalist backdrops.

Maintenance involves gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth while avoiding abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive handling that might wear down the delicate gilt surface.
