Description

Antique Chain Fusee Mantel Clock Rococo Gilt Bronze Ormolu Case Floral Mounts.

This beautiful antique clock has a fabulous rococo style ormolu case made of gilt bronze. The case has a wonderful hour glass shape with exquisitely detailed, scrolling floral design. The case also features an array of textures with polished, brushed, and pitted surfaces which show off its quality and give the design much more depth. A truly beautiful example of the upmost quality and a very rare and hard to find design for a fusee time piece.

The dial is then gilt and set out in black, painted roman numerals with a thin ring to the outside marking out the minutes via small black dashes. The centre of the dial then has a wonderfully detailed, engine turned pattern which gives it a fantastic look. Finally the dial has a wonderful patterned surround and is finished by two beautifully shaped hands.

The movement is then chain fusee and of the upmost quality. It is ticking away as it should and comes complete which its pendulum which can be fully regulated as well as its winding key. The movement also comes complete with its travel nut.

A truly fantastic and unique piece of the highest quality that would look fantastic in any home or as part of a larger collection.

It measures approximately:

- 12.5” / 32cm Tall.

- 7.75” / 20cm Wide.

- 4” / 10cm Deep.

A rococo gilt bronze ormolu clock is a decorative timepiece featuring asymmetrical scrolls, naturalistic floral motifs, and a fire-gilded bronze finish, popular during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These clocks are constructed from cast bronze that has been mercury-gilded (ormolu), often housing mechanical movements such as chain fusee or spring-driven mechanisms with enamel or engraved metal dials.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased surface details following the casting process, high-weight bronze construction, period-appropriate mechanical movements, and natural ageing or oxidation of the gilt surface.

Place the clock as a focal point on a mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard to introduce textural contrast and classical ornamentation into a clean, modern room scheme.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical cleaning agents, abrasive polishes, or excessive handling that could wear down the delicate fire-gilt finish.
