French Louis Xvi Style Gilt Bronze & Porcelain Mantel Clock by Japy Freres

19th century
Description

A French Louis XVI style gilt bronze and porcelain antique mantel clock of superb quality dating from the mid 19th century. The finely cast case has acanthus leaf moulding and entwined leaf design, fluted columns, ribbon, fabric swags and pineapple finials to the top. The clock is surmounted with a porcelain urn, delicately hand painted with doves and floral design, flanked by two foliate handles and finished with finial to the top.

There are beautifully hand painted inset porcelain panels to the case with classical and landscape scenes. The porcelain dial is also hand painted with fine floral leaf design, Roman numerals, and it has the retailers name - Henry Marc

The movement is a French eight day duration which strikes the hours and half hour on a bell.

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

Louis XVI style mantel clocks are characterized by neoclassical symmetry, refined straight lines, and inspiration from Greco-Roman architecture. Common design elements include fluted columns, laurel wreaths, urn finials, and hand-painted porcelain panels.

19th-century French mantel clocks were predominantly constructed using mercury-gilded bronze, also known as ormolu, alongside porcelain panels, brass clock movements, and bevelled glass covers.

Authentic Japy Freres clocks usually feature a circular makers stamp pressed directly into the brass backplate of the movement. Inspection of the gilding quality, hand-painted details on porcelain panels, and original threaded assembly also helps verify authenticity.

Place the clock as a central focal point on a marble mantelpiece, sideboard, or console table. Balance its intricate detailing by flanking it with minimalist modern artwork or symmetrical candleholders.

Dust the item regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush. Avoid metal polishes or liquid cleaners, as these can strip original mercury gilding and damage hand-painted porcelain over time.
