Description

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning antique French ormolu Rococo clock. It is beautifully modelled in the Rococo style of Louis XV in Ormolu (gilded bronze). Beautiful balloon shaped case with acanthus to the shoulders and a Rococo flourish to the top. Sound frets are fitted to the front and sides. It stands on it's original integral base with boldly scrolling feet. A reflection of the pendulum swinging can be just seen in the highly polished centre of the base.

The beautiful dial is porcelain enamel on copper and is complete with its original finely cut gilt hands and convex glass.

The French movement is of high quality and 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, please ask and we will send you a link or click / paste this into your browser:

FAQs

The Louis XV Rococo style emerged in 18th-century France, characterised by asymmetrical designs, naturalistic curves, scrolls, and floral motifs. Ormolu refers to finely chiselled and gilded bronze mounts applied to furniture and decorative objects.

These clocks typically feature a cast bronze or brass chassis finished with mercury gilding, known as ormolu, housing an intricate mechanical clockwork movement with an enamel dial and steel hands.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chiselled detailing on the bronze mounts, fire-gilding characteristics, period-appropriate mechanical movements, and signs of age such as oxidation and wear on the gilding.

This item functions effectively as a focal point on a mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard, contrasting against clean, contemporary lines to add texture and historical context.

Keep the clock away from direct sunlight and moisture. Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid harsh chemical cleaners on the ormolu. Mechanical movements should be serviced periodically by a professional horologist.
