Antique French Gilt Bronze Rococo Clock

19th century
Description

~ French - Circa 1870 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning and large original antique French gilded bronze clock. It is of the most beautiful Rococo style, waisted case decorated with 'C' scrolls, acanthus leaves and floral swags. To the top is a Rococo flourish with trailing floral swags.

The large dial is porcelain enamel on copper with finely cut blued steel hands and 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.

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration. The dial is also excellent with just some tiny nibbles to the winding holes.

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 Rococo clocks originated during the 18th-century reign of Louis XV, characterised by elaborate asymmetry, flowing acanthus leaves, C-scrolls, and finely cast gilt bronze ormolu mounts.

These timepieces were typically constructed using heavy cast bronze finished with a mercury gilding process known as ormolu, paired with white enamel dials and brass mechanical movements.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chiselled casting details, subtle oxidisation in deep recesses, hand-painted numerals on enamel dial faces, and historical maker marks or serial numbers stamped on the rear movement movement plates.

Position the timepiece as a central focal point on a marble fireplace mantelpiece or console table, pairing it with contemporary artwork or minimalist ceramic vases to contrast its detailed gilded decoration.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth or dry natural bristle brush, avoiding liquid metal polishes and chemical cleansers which can permanently strip or damage original gilded patinas.
