Description

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A very elegant cartel clock, Louis XVI in design with a handled urn and acanthus decoration. A large bow sits above the dial and sound panels to the sides and front allow the delicate sound of the bell strike to be heard. It is finely made in gilded bronze.

The dial is enamel on copper with the sought after blue lettering and separate minute ring. The finely fretted gilt brass hands are beautiful and original.

The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled 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. The dial is also in excellent condition just some very faint hairlines. We have replaced the tired fabric from behind the sound frets with fresh.

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