Description

~ French - Circa 1890 ~

~~ 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 a handled urn to the top, a bow above the dial, scrolling acanthus to the sides and polished panels with applied motifs.

The beautiful dial is porcelain enamel on copper with blue lettering. It is complete with finely cut gilt brass hands and convex glass.

The French movement is of high quality and is by A. D. Mougin. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original.

FAQs

The Louis XVI style is characterised by a return to classical proportions, symmetry, and architectural motifs influenced by excavations at Pompeii, featuring straight lines and refined ornamentation rather than exuberant curves.

These pieces were typically cast in brass or bronze and subsequently mercury-gilded to achieve a rich, durable golden finish known as ormolu, housing mechanical movements with enamel dials and steel hands.

Authentic period items often display hand-chased details in the metalwork, traditional fire-gilding techniques which have a soft matte lustre, and serial numbers or maker signatures on the original mechanical movement.

This piece works effectively as a focal point on a mantelpiece or console table, contrasting sharply against minimalist backgrounds or adding a touch of classical metallic texture to modern neutral spaces.

Maintenance requires avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that can strip the delicate gilding, using a soft dry brush to remove dust from crevices, and having the mechanical movement professionally serviced periodically.
