Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1880s:
Fine craquelure across the painted ground: natural drying of the aged lacquer.
Cast scroll mounts and finial: standard late nineteenth-century French casting.
Twin winding arbors on the dial: two-train striking movement.
Timber back door on small pinned hinges: late nineteenth-century cabinet work.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

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.

This 19th-century French Louis XV-style mantel clock by Japy Freres employs wood with a brown and gold painted finish, complemented by cast gilt brass or ormolu mounts. The shaped case incorporates a floral leaf finial on top, scroll feet at the base, and ornate scroll mouldings framing the edges. The ivory-coloured enamel dial displays Roman and Arabic numerals, while the lower case features a painted pastoral scene depicting a courting couple. The sides present floral bouquets over a gilt ground, and a small winding key sits on the surface below the clock. Measuring 34 cm high, 16.5 cm wide, and 11 cm deep, this timepiece suits placement on a mantelpiece in a living room, study, or hallway to display classical French chateau style.

FAQs

Louis XV style mantel clocks feature characteristic Rococo design elements, including curved asymmetrical silhouettes, floral motifs, ornate foliage finials, and decorative gilded metal mounts.

These clocks are predominantly constructed with cast gilt brass or bronze ormolu mounts, timber or lacquer cases often finished with painted Vernis Martin decoration, and white enamel dials.

Authentic period examples feature hand-cast and chased metal mounts, mechanical movement stampings on the back plate, original enamel dial plates with fine painted numerals, and historical wear patterns on the gilding.

Position the clock centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or entryway console table to serve as a focal point, paired alongside minimalist contemporary ceramics or framed art.

Dust the case regularly with a soft dry microfibre cloth, avoid using chemical solvents or abrasive metal polishes on the original gilt finish, and have the internal mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist.
