~ French - Circa 1870 ~
~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~
A large and impressive original antique French gilt brass clock. It is Baroque in style, mythical creatures support the clock on a stylised sea of scrolls. A grotesque mask is mounted above the dial and a large elaborate urn is mounted to the top.
The clock is complete with its original integral base. This is a beautifully modelled, heavy and finely detailed clock.
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. Click the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!
Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The dial is also in excellent condition just some tiny nibbles next to the winding holes.
Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.

About us - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have developed over many years. We employee two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.
