A lovely antique French clock, boldly modelled in the Rococo style in gilded bronze.
Dolphins riding the surf form the feet of the clock. The top of the case is decorated with decorated with 'C' scrolls, bold scrolls and to the top is an elaborate asymmetric finial decorated with trailing foliage.
The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with separate minute ring and original blued steel hands.
The French movement is of high quality and is by the well known maker A. D. Mougin. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video to hear the bell and watch the clock running!
Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration. The dial is also in excellent condition just some slight discolouration and a tiny chip next to the right hand winding hole.
