A beautiful original antique French clock set, Rococo in design and beautifully made in gilt bronze.
The fretted front allows the pendulum to be seen gently swinging within. Candelabra are conforming in style with three lights and snuffers.
The dial is also gilt bronze with 12 individual enamel cartouches and blued steel hands.
The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. The clockmakers mark is on the movement backplate. 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 dial is also in excellent condition just some nibbles to the number 8 and 4 cartouches next to the winding hole.
