Japy Freres Antique French Gilt Brass Clock

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning Rococo boudoir clock by the well known maker Japy Freres. It is very good quality and beautifully modelled in gilded brass with intricate and well chased detail. The beautiful waisted key hole shape is decorated with acanthus shoulders and bezel, 'C' scrolls and a shell motif. To the top is a large and elaborate urn with trailing foliage.

The dial is enamel on copper and has a gilt brass centre and original blued steel hands. The acanthus bezel is fitted with convex bevelled glass. The rear door is glazed with frosted glass.

The French movement is by Japy Freres and has the makers mark on the backplate. It is of Japy Freres' usual 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 with no chips or scratches. There is a small chip to the edge of the original glass, this is hardly noticeable. Displays beautifully as you can see below!

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.
