~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A large, superb and very decorative original antique French clock by the famous maker A.D. Mougin. It is boldly modelled in the Rococo style in finely gilded bronze. Asymmetric waisted case, decorated profusely with sweeping acanthus leaves, 'C' scrolls and floral swags. To the top is a large elaborate final of a stylised flaming lamp. A pieced panel to the front allows a glimpse of the pendulum gently swinging within.

The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with its original finely fretted gilt brass 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 running, please ask and we will send you a link or paste the following into your browser: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=793603302737820

French Rococo gilt bronze clocks, popularised during the 18th century, feature asymmetrical C-scrolls, acanthus foliage, elaborate floral motifs, and a white enamel dial with Roman numerals.

These clocks were cast in bronze using the lost-wax process and mercury-gilded to create a bright, lasting gold finish, often paired with hand-painted enamel dials and brass clockwork mechanisms.

Authentic examples feature heavy, finely chased gilt bronze castings with detailed hand-chasing, hand-painted enamel dials, and period-appropriate countwheel movement signatures.

Position the clock as a focal point on a fireplace mantel, marble console table, or dark wood sideboard, balanced with minimal contemporary art or understated glass accents.

Clean gilt bronze gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to remove dust, avoiding liquid polishes or abrasive chemicals that can strip the delicate gold mercury gilding.
