An early and very decorative French Gothic table clock by the famous maker Japy Freres. It features lions mask handles to the sides, a hairy paw feet and is surmounted by an urn. This is the earlier design with a timber carcass mounted with brass. The detailing is sharp and finely executed and the clock has a very good, clean and bright finish.
The Japy Freres French movement is of the highest quality and has the clockmakers 'Grand Medaille D'Honour' mark on the backplate. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully serviced by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old replacement. It runs for 8 days on one wind and strikes the hours and halves on a bell.
