Description

Large Fine Bronze Clock With Visible Pendulum by H. Luppens et Cie, Paris.

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A fine and large bronze clock by the famous bronze foundry of H. Luppens et Cie of Brussels. It is Baroque in style, architectural with profuse foliate decoration. Beautifully modelled and finished, bronze work of the highest quality. Open fret work to the front to allow the pendulum to be seen swinging within the case. The clock is signed to the dial (Brussels) and movement (Paris), the case and dial being made at the foundry in Brussels and the French movement made in Paris.

The dial is heavily sculptured in bronze and mounted with 12 enamel cartouche letters. It is complete with original finely fretted blued steel hands and heavy convex bezel. The centre of the dial is signed H. Luppens et Cie, Bruxelles.

The French movement is of excellent quality and has the H. Luppens, Paris mark on the backplate. It is fitted with the superior pin-pallet escapement and rack striking. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled and extensively tested by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a sonorous coiled gong. 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 and marks to the cartouches.

H Luppens & Cie, Clockmaker's / Bronzier's mark on the movement backplate.

Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
