Japy Freres Antique French Gothic Gilt Brass Table Clock

Japy Freres Antique French Gothic

Gilt Brass Table Clock

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning and top quality Japy Freres table clock in the Gothic style. It features profuse pieced gothic tracery over the front and sides allowing a glimpse of the pendulum swinging within. The dial is an unusual 4 piece cartouche design with a silvered backplate and fretted brass hands. Above the dial is a coat of arms with a lion rampant and to the sides are flying buttresses formed of stylised dolphins. It is styled in the round to allow it to stand on a table and has a glazed back door to allow the movement to be seen. A stunning clock to compliment your gothic interior.

The French movement is by Japy Freres and is of the makers usual high quality. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a sonorous coiled gong. Click the video clip below to hear the gong 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 finial is very slightly distorted. The dial is also in excellent condition just some tiny nibbles to the edges of the cartouches. The silvering of the backplate is worn to a mellow antique colour with wear on the raised edges.

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