~ French - Circa 1870 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning and large original antique French gilded bronze clock set. It is of the most beautiful Rococo style, waisted case decorated with 'C' scrolls, acanthus leaves and floral swags. Candelabra have 4 elaborate acanthus arms held aloft on asymmetric urns with conforming bases.

The beautiful, large porcelain enamel dial is complete with the original finely cut gilt brass hands and convex glass.

The French movement is of high quality and is by Vincenti et Cie. 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. Click the video clip 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 with no damage. Candelabra arms are slightly distorted.
