Impressive Large Japy Freres Black Slate Mantel Clock

19th century
Description

Impressive large black marble mantel clock by Japy Freres

~~ original condition throughout ~~

This is a beautiful condition mantel clock by the famous French clockmaker Japy Freres.

The case is most unique made of black marble and the design of Greek mythology. It has a dome top, corinthium columns to each side and a pewter panel on the front depicting mythical figures.

As you would expect from Japy Freres it has a fine high grade French movement which is fully marked. It is totally original and has just been serviced by Alan Williams of Plymouth Clocks, a Fellow of the British Horological Institute, so is in tip top condition and should give trouble free service for many years to come.

It comes with its original pendulum and a key.

It runs for over 8 days between winding and strikes on the hour and half hour on a coiled gong

This clock dates from about 1880 and has obviously been highly prized and looked after, the condition is a credit to its previous owners with only a chip to the rear of the clock which is photographed but this in no way detracts from the piece.

It is incredibly heavy!

The clock movement comes with a full 12 month warranty.

If you would like for information please telephone Andrew and Lynn Wilson of Fowey River Antiques, Cornwall on 01726 813155

Dimensions of clock: Height 16", Width is 18" Depth 6".

Delivery for this item to mainland England and Wales is £30, unfortunately we are unable to deliver to Scotland or Northern Ireland.

Why not collect in person and explore Cornwall - we are 2 miles from the historic port of Fowey and 3 miles from world famous Eden Project.

Declaration

Fowey River Antiques has dated this piece to the 1890s.
