~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning original antique French Rococo clock. It is beautifully modelled in gilded bronze, of waisted shape, profusely decorated with 'C' scrolls, acanthus leaves and trailing foliage. To the top is an elaborate urn with flame finial. The front is fretted to allow a glimpse of the pendulum gently swinging within.

The dial porcelain enamel on copper with delicate floral swags between the numerals and finely fretted gilt hands.

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 an old 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 picture.

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 no damage.
