~ French - Circa 1880 ~
~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled & working ~~
A large and stunning original antique French brass table clock in lovely condition.
It stands on its original integral base. The dial is heavy cast brass with an engraved minute ring and acanthus bezel fitted with convex glass. Twelve individual enamel cartouches are mounted for the hours. Fretted and blued steel hands are original. Below the dial is a torché and quiver of arrows. To the sides are fretted panels backed with red velvet. The design is beautifully bold and heavily moulded in brass, well chased and finished. It is modelled in the round and so would display very well on a table.
The French movement is of very high quality and has the clockmaker's / retailer's mark on the movement backplate. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days on one wind and strikes the hours and halves on a large, sonorous bell. Click the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!
Condition of the case is excellent with a clean and bright finish and there are no losses. There is some minor wear / surface scratches and discolouration in places. The dial is also in excellent condition with no damage to the cartouches.
Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.

About us - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have developed over many years. We employee two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.
