Antique French Rococo Boudoir Table Clock

Antique French Rococo Boudoir Table Clock

~ French - Circa 1890 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

Stunning original antique French clock. The style is Rococo, waisted keyhole shape with acanthus leaf shoulders, 'C' scroll feet and surmounted by a flamboyant finial. It stands on its original integral base. Curved fretted panels backed with red velvet are inserted into the sides, with a smaller one to the front. The design is beautifully bold and heavily modelled in fine gilded brass, well chased and finished. The clock is modelled in the round and would display very well on a table.

The beautiful dial is enamel on copper, a Roman hour ring and a separate outside minute ring. It is complete with its original finely fretted blued steel hands and convex glazed bezel.

The French movement is of high quality and has the retailers mark F & C on the backplate. It 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, no chips or scratches. We have replaced the red velvet.

Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
