French Gilt Bronze & Porcelain Mantel Clock by Japy Freres

19th century
Description

A decorative French late 19th century bronze gilt antique mantel clock with superb quality case, beautifully chased and burnished throughout. The case has acanthus leaf mouldings, ribbon swag, beaded bezel, fluted detail to the sides and stands on toupie shaped feet. A porcelain urn adorns the top with fine floral garland, and there are inset porcelain panels of a landscape scene and floral panels which are delicately hand painted and surrounded by a pink border.

The clock had a white enamel dial with Roman numerals and it has a French eight day duration movement which strikes the hours and half hours on a bell.

The movement backplate is stamped with the makers name - Japy Freres

The movement has been cleaned and serviced and comes with a 12 month guarantee.

Height - 37 cm (14 ½ inches)

Width - 23.5 cm (9 ¼ inches)

Depth - 13 cm (5 inches)

Circa - 1880

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 nineteenth-century gilt bronze mantel clocks, often produced during the Louis XVI Revival and Second Empire periods, feature ornate cast-ormolu casings housing mechanical movements, frequently decorated with hand-painted porcelain plaques.

These clocks were constructed using cast bronze or brass treated with fire-gilding (ormolu), featuring enamelled or porcelain dials, painted porcelain inset panels, and glass covers protecting the movement.

Authentic movements by Japy Freres typically feature a stamped circular makers mark on the back plate of the movement, alongside numerical markings denoting the movement calibre and pendulum length.

Place the timepiece centrally on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard, balanced by symmetrical decorative accessories such as framed artwork or brass candlesticks.

Dust the casing regularly with a soft dry microfibre cloth, avoiding liquid chemicals or abrasive metal polishes which strip the delicate gold gilding and damage hand-painted porcelain.
