Antique French Five Piece Clock Set ~ Lions

~ French - Circa 1890 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning and rare five piece clock set, beautifully modelled in gilt brass in the classical style. The clock features lions mask handles to the sides and fretted front and sides allowing the pendulum to be glimpsed swinging within the case. To the top is a large, elaborate urn. Candelabra are similarly styled with pieced urns with lions masks and fretted drip trays and nozzles. The three light candelabrum have scrolling branches of acanthus.

The dial is also gilt brass with 12 individual enamel cartouches and blued steel hands.

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, beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The dial is also in excellent condition just a tiny nibble to the number 8 cartouche. 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.
