Stunning Rococo Gilt Bronze Boudoir Clock with Cherubs

~ French - Circa 1900 ~

~~ Beautiful condition, fully restored and overhauled ~~

A beautiful Rococo gilt bronze (Ormolu, Doré Bronze) original antique French boudoir clock. It features the most exquisite figures of cherubs. One plays a flute seated on an acanthus scroll while the other listens, seated above the dial, within a shell grotto. The clock is boldly modelled in the Rococo style with sweeping scrolls, acanthus and floral swags.

The dial is enamel on copper, lettered in blue with a black minute ring and elegantly fretted gilt brass hands. The rear door is also glazed to allow the movement to be seen.

The French movement is of high quality and has the A. D. Mougin clockmaker's mark on the movement backplate. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled and tested by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original. 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. We have carefully cleaned and polished the case to a very high standard in our workshop. The dial is also in excellent condition with no damage. There are some chips to the original glass of the rear door. This is very good quality and highly decorative clock to add to your collection.
