Rare French Antique Gothic Table Clock

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A rare and very good quality original French antique table clock. It is Gothic in style and features a porcelain panel to the front. White on a black background with a pair of griffins and a coat of arms below the roman dial and gothic tracery to the centre of the dial. It is designed to look like ivory, finely fretted with gothic tracery. To the sides are mythical griffins supporting flying buttresses and the top is formed from four flying gothic arches with a finial above and a bell mounted within. The top of each side is formed as an arch with a Reynolds angel.

The rear door is glazed to allow the movement to be seen and the clock is modelled in the round, ideal for displaying on a table. This is a beautifully modelled and finished table clock, heavily made in brass.

The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. It has the retailers mark 'A.F.' on the backplate. 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, clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The porcelain panel is also in excellent condition with no chips or scratches, it may have originally had a small amount of over-glaze gilt decoration, if it did, this has worn.

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 employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.
