Stunning Antique French Gilt Bronze Gothic Clock Set with Dragons

Stunning Antique French Gilt Bronze Gothic Clock Set with Dragons

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A lovely small sized, original antique French clock set. It is French Gothic in style with a light and delicate design of fretwork covering most of the case. This allows the pendulum to be seen swinging gently inside the case. Dragons sit to the top of the case and also on the branches of the candelabra. Candelabra are of conforming design and sit upon delicate bases.

The dial is enamel on copper with a bronze centre and original blued steel hands. It has red half hour markers and is covered by convex glass. The rear door is also glazed to allow the movement to be seen, if the set is displayed on a table or the reflection in a mirror if on a mantle.

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 some tiny nibbles to the winding holes and a light hairline. 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.
