Stunning Antique Clock Set by Japy Freres Cherub with Dolphin

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning original antique French brass clock set, beautifully modelled in the Rococo style. It features a most delightful figure of a cherub with a dolphin, fishing with spear in the breaking surf. Below the dial is a large and deeply modelled cockle shell, 'C' scrolls to each side and bracket feet modelled as surf.

Candelabra have conforming bases, large elaborate urns and boldly scrolling four branches. This is a beautifully made set, crisply modelled and finished. The dial is enamel on copper with a separate minute ring and the retailers signature. It is complete with the original finely fretted gilt brass hands and convex glass.

The French movement is by Japy Freres and is of high quality. The Japy Freres mark is on the movement 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, beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The dial is also in excellent with no chips or scratches. Candelabra arms are slightly distorted. The set makes a stunning display as you can see below.

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.
