~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning original antique French gilt bronze clock in the classical style of Louis XVI. A beautifully restrained architectural case with lions mask handles and an urn with tumbling foliage. Panels to the front have goddess and mythical masks.

The dial is also gilt brass with 12 individual enamel cartouches and blued steel 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 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, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration. The dial is also in excellent condition with no damage. The original glass has a couple of minor chips to the edge.
