A superb Japy Frères antique French ormolu boudoir clock.

The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with separate minute ring and delicately fretted gilt hands. The rear door is glazed to allow the movement to be seen.
The French movement is by Japy Frères and is of high quality. It is the early version of the Paris movement with a spring hammer stop. On the back plate is the clockmaker's mark. 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.

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 with no damage. There are some light scratches to the original glass. A lovely clock in excellent original condition.
