Large Antique French Gothic Clock Set ~ A D Mougin ~ French - Circa 1900 ~ ~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~ A Large and impressive original antique French Gothic clock set, beautifully made in gilt brass, very heavy and crisply modelled and with the original gilding remaining. The style is typically French Gothic, architecturally designed with lions masks, hairy paw feet, flowing foliage and surmounted by a bell. The body of the clock is fretted and modelled as a niche embedded in the overgrown foliage. The pendulum can be glimpsed swinging within the case through the fretwork.

The dial is enamel on copper with separate minute ring, a cast brass centre and blued steel hands. The egg and dart bezel is fitted with convex and bevelled glass..

Antique French movement is by A. D. Mougin and is of of excellent quality. It runs for 8 days on one wind and strikes half-hourly on a bell. It has been fully restored in our workshop and is on excellent clean and running condition. The pendulum is a replacement. Click the video clip below to see and hear the movement working!

Condition of the case is excellent, gilding is bright with a clean finish, there is some very minor wear and discolouration in places. The candelabra arms are slightly distorted. The dial is also in good condition, there are some chips and slight hair lines near the right hand winding hole.
