Superb Antique Gilt and Bronze Regency Poodle Dog Clock by Hessen Paris

18th century
Description

Superb Antique Gilt And Bronze Regency Poodle Dog Clock By Hessen Paris.

This absolutely superb example of a gilt bronze regency clock features a black patinated poodle dog cast in superb detail. The piece then sits on a wonderful gilt bronze and chequered base with the poodle itself having a gilt collar. The dog is then holding the gilt dial and movement housing from its mouth.

The dial is then set out in black Roman numerals with a ring of dashes to the outside marking the minutes. The dial then features two small shaped hands and a domed glass set i to the gilt bezel.

The movement is then wound from the front and accessed from the back. Unfortunately it is not currently working as the small fusee chain has become detached. The movement is then signed by the maker “Hessen Paris”.

Adré Hessen (1745-1805), a watchmaker who settled in Paris, France, in 1767 and who was very well-known and appreciated in his time.

It measures approximately:

- 4” / 10cm Tall.

- 5” / 12.75cm Wide.

- 2.75” / 7cm Deep.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

French horology of the early 19th century frequently featured figural and animal themes cast in bronze, combining dark patinated elements with fire-gilded ormolu mounts to create striking visual contrast.

These timepieces were crafted using mercury-gilded bronze (ormolu), patinated bronze, bevelled glass panels, and hand-painted enamel clock dials housed over brass mechanical movements.

Authentic pieces feature heavy cast bronze construction, hand-chased decorative details, natural oxidisation wear on high points of gilding, and maker marks or signatures on the dial or movement backplate.

Position the piece on a stone fireplace mantel, a dark wood sideboard, or a marble-topped console table to serve as an architectural focal point within a modern or traditional setting.

Dust surfaces gently using a dry, soft-bristled brush. Avoid liquid metal polishes or harsh chemical solvents, which strip original gilding and historic patination.
