A large and superb original antique French Rococo clock, beautifully modelled in gilt bronze.
To the top is an elaborate handled urn.
The dial is porcelain enamel on copper, the hours in segregated panels and a separate minute ring. It is complete with original blued steel hands. The rear door is glazed to allow the movement to be seen.
The French movement is of high quality and is by A. D. Mougin. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original.
