Antique French Rococo Ormolu Table Clock

~ French - Circa 1875 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

Stunning original antique French ormolu clock. The style is Rococo, waisted keyhole shape with acanthus leaf shoulders, 'C' scroll feet and surmounted by a flamboyant finial. It stands on its original integral base. Curved fretted panels backed with red velvet are inserted into the sides, with smaller ones to the front and rear.

The design is beautifully bold and heavily modelled in ormolu (fine gilded brass), well chased and finished. The clock is modelled in the round and would display very well on a table.

Dial is a beautiful enamel on copper, delicately decorated with pretty floral swags between the numerals. It is complete with its original delicately fretted brass hands and convex glass.

The French movement is of excellent quality and is in clean and fully working condition having been fully overhauled in our workshop. The pendulum is an old replacement. It runs for 8 days on one wind and strikes the hours and halves on a bell, click the video below to see and hear the movement!

The finish of the ormolu is excellent, bright and clean. There are some minor areas of wear or scratches. The dial is in excellent condition no chips and just a couple of faint scratches. We have replaced the red velvet with new.

Complete with pendulum, bell and keys. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
