A very large and impressive original antique French gilt brass clock set, standing at 27" in height. It is in the Louis XVI style, architecturally designed and decorated with flowing elaborate foliage. To the arched top is a large pieced urn with scrolling foliate handles. To the front, a finely detailed fretted panel allows the pendulum to be seen swinging within the case. Candelabra are similarly styled with pieced urns and bold scrolling arms. This is a stunning and substantial clock set with a superb original gild.

The large enamel dial has a cream background with red crown half-hour markers, large blued steel hands and convex glass.

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 to the winding holes. Candelabra are slightly distorted. The set makes a stunning display as you can see below.

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