Antique French Gilt Brass Louis XVI Boudoir Clock Set by Vincenti

~ French - Circa 1870 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A beautifully chic, original antique French boudoir clock set. It is modelled in the classical style of Louis XVI with applied acanthus leaf decoration to the front panel, acanthus scrolls to each side with reeded pillars, and a large urn to the top with a pineapple finial. Candelabra have matching bases with reeded urns mounted with scrolling acanthus arms. The set is beautifully modelled in gilded brass with a lovely clean and bright polished finish. A stunning clock set ready to display.

The stunning dial is enamel on copper, delicately painted with floral swags between the numbers. It is complete with original finely fretted gilt brass hands and convex glass.

The French movement is by Vincenti and has the makers mark on the movement backplate. It 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 around the winding holes and a couple of small hairlines. Candelabra are slightly distorted. The original glass has a small scratch.

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.
