Description

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A large, superb and very decorative original antique French clock by the famous maker Japy Frères. It is boldly modelled in the Rococo style in finely gilded bronze. Asymmetric waisted case, decorated profusely with acanthus leaves and 'C' scrolls. To the top is a large elaborate final of stylised foliage with a 'C' scroll. It is of lovely quality, heavily made but with a crisp, light design.

The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with delicately painted swags between the hours and finely fretted gilt brass hands. The Rococo bezel is fitted with convex glass.

The French movement is by Japy Frères and is of high quality. 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. We have a video of the clock running, please ask and we will send you a link.

Condition of the case is excellent, beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The dial is also in excellent condition with no major damage or marks.
