Louis XVI Gilt Brass Clock Set by Vincenti

Louis XVI Gilt Brass Clock Set

by Vincenti

~ French - Circa 1875 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A very finely detailed, original antique French gilt brass clock in excellent condition, much of the original gilding remains which is in lovely bright and clean condition. It is classical Louis XVI in style and features a fretted panel with a classical mask and entwined foliage to the front, allowing the pendulum to be seen swinging within the case. The clock and candelabra stand on integral bases and have hairy paw feet. The urns have lions mask handles and are surmounted by four branches.

The dial is enamel on copper and is complete with original blued steel hands.

The French movement is of high quality and has the Vincenti mark on the movement backplate. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully serviced by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Go to the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!

Condition of the case is excellent with clean and bright finish and there are no losses. There is some very very minor wear to the original gilding on the high spots. The dial is also in excellent condition with just a slight hairline near the right hand winding hole.

Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
