~ French - Circa 1860 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A lovely ormolu boudoir clock, antique French dating from around 1860. It features a charming porcelain panel, delicately painted with a cherub in the manner of Sèvres. It is classical in style with scrolls and a large urn with rams head handles to the top. The lid of the urn opens for storage of small items. The ormolu is in lovely original condition.

The dial is enamel on copper with separate minute ring and delicate fretted hands. The rear door is glazed to allow the movement to be seen. The clock is unusual having it's original gesso stand.

The French movement is of high quality and is the earlier version of the Pendule de Paris movement with outside hammer stop. 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 bell. We have a video of the clock running available, please ask.

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with some slight discolouration and tarnish in places. The dial is also in excellent condition with no damage. The gesso stand has losses and restoration. We have replaced the fabric.

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