~~ 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 rear door is glazed with frosted glass.

The French movement is of high quality and is by Samuel Marti. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original.

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 just a hairline between the eight and nine. Candelabra are slightly distorted.
