Large Ormolu and Sèvres Porcelain Antique French Rococo Clock Set

~ French - Circa 1900 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A large and beautiful antique French Rococo clock set. Beautifully made in finely gilded bronze and mounted with exquisite Sèvres style porcelain. Porcelain has a white ground with panels delicately painted with scenes. The urn shows an idyllic country cottage and below the dial the panel shows the cottage interior. Candelabra have urns with scenes of rural life with scenes in panels in the bases.

The case is of a waisted design with profuse, twirling acanthus decoration. The dial is also porcelain with a charming cherub amongst the clouds and a basket of flowers. It is complete with it's original finely fretted gilt brass hands. Candelabra have their original snuffers, these sit in the central nozzles as finials when candelabra are not in use.

The French movement is by A. D. Mougin and is of the maker's usual high quality. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. We have a video clip of the clock running, please ask.

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean, bright and crisp. The porcelain is also in excellent condition, some slight wear to the over glaze gilt decoration, very occasional marks and discolouration and a couple of nibbles to the top of the candelabra urns. Candelabra are slightly distorted. The set makes a stunning display as you can see below.
