A stunning original antique French gilt bronze Rococo clock. Flamboyant deeply waisted asymmetric Rococo shape decorated with acanthus, scrolls and floral swags.
The French movement is of high quality and is by Malet et Cie of Paris. It 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 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 just occasional discolouration/tarnish and wear. The dial is also in excellent condition just some tiny nibbles to the winding holes.
