~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~
A stunning clock set featuring a beautifully sculptured figure of a lioness to the top.
The case is made of a lovely specimen marble, a pale salmon with a figure of oranges and silver grey. It is mounted with ormolu (fine gilded bronze). The movement is mounted between the four columns with the pendulum swinging visibly below.
The very chic dial is enamel on copper, delicately lettered with a separate minute ring and covered with convex glass.
The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Ormolu pendulum is original. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell.
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 marble is also in good condition with a good polish. There are some occasional tiny nibbles to the edges. One urn has some hairlining along the grain of the stone. The cover of the other urn has a small chip that is hidden by the handle. The rear left hand column on the clock has a small chip top and bottom that are hardly noticeable. The dial is in excellent condition with just some faint hairlining.
