Japy Freres Louis Xvi Gilt Bronze Set

1900 - 1920
Description

~ French - Circa 1900 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A beautiful, classically designed antique French gilt bronze clock set by Japy Frères. It features oval panels to the sides showing Fortuna, the goddess of luck, an emperor to the front and lions masks. To the top of the clock is a cherub on a globe and flame finials surmount the candelabra.

The dial cream porcelain enamel on copper with delicate floral swags and finely cut gilt hands.

The French movement is by Japy Freres and is of high quality. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a sonorous coiled gong. Click the video clip below to hear the gong 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 tiny nibbles to the winding holes and a slight mark near the 8 o'clock.

FAQs

A French clock garniture set traditionally consists of a central mantel clock accompanied by two matching side pieces, typically candelabra or decorative vases. Originating in eighteenth-century France, these sets were designed as cohesive decorative suites for display on fireplace mantels and console tables.

Louis XVI clock garnitures were predominantly crafted from gilt bronze, also known as ormolu, featuring fire-gilded mercurial finishes. The clock dials were usually made of white enamelled copper, housed within finely chased cast bronze cases.

Authentic pieces feature detailed hand-chasing, heavy cast bronze construction, and makers marks stamped on the movement backplate, such as those from noted makers like Japy Freres. Additionally, original gilding exhibits subtle wear pattern variations and age-appropriate patination on unexposed surfaces.

To style a gilt bronze garniture set in a contemporary space, place the ensemble along a minimalist marble mantelpiece or modern dark wood sideboard. Balancing the elaborate gilded detail against neutral walls or simple backdrop textures creates a focused historical contrast.

Preserve gilt bronze by dusting gently with a soft, natural-bristle brush or dry microfibre cloth without applying chemical abrasives or metal polishes. Moisture must be avoided to prevent oxidisation, and professional horological conservation is recommended for movement maintenance.
