~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning Baroque style antique French cartel wall clock. It is beautifully modelled in gilded bronze in the shape of a shield. To the sides are bold acanthus scrolls with finely fretted panels and to the top is a shield and a pair of urns. The dial is very large and features 12 individual enamel cartouche letters and delicately fretted, blued steel hands. To the bottom is a niches with a shell motif.

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 on one wind and strikes the hours and halves on a bell.

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with just some slight wear or discolouration. The dial is also in very good condition just some tiny nibbles to the cartouches and some fading and slight scratching. The back cover is missing from the clock, however the clock sits tight against the wall when hung in position so this is of little consequence. This is a stunning original clock ready for your collection.

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