~ French - Circa 1890 ~
~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~
A stunning original antique French clock by the famous maker Japy Freres.
It sits on boldly modelled feet. Candelabra are conforming in style with three lights. The design is beautifully and heavily modelled in gilt brass, in lovely original condition.
The dial is enamel on copper and is complete with original blued steel hands. The rear door is glazed to allow the movement to be seen.
The French movement is by Japy Freres and is of the maker's usual high quality. 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, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The dial is also in good condition just some hairlines as you can see in the pictures below. Candelabra are slightly distorted and one nozzle has an old repair. 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.
