~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~
A large, superb and very decorative original antique French clock. It is boldly modelled in the Rococo style in finely gilded bronze. Waisted shaped case, decorated profusely with acanthus leaves and 'C' scrolls. The front is finely pieced acanthus allowing the pendulum to be seen swinging within. To the top is a large elaborate urn with a flame finial. It is of lovely quality, heavily made but with a crisp, light design and fine finish.
The Rococo bezel is fitted with convex glass.
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 a 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 and there are no losses. The dial is also in excellent condition just some tiny nibbles to the winding holes.
