Antique French Gilt Brass Boudoir Clock - Jarrot Freres ~ French - Circa 1880 ~ ~~ Excellent condition ~~ A lovely small, Louis XV style boudoir clock with excellent original gilding. Gilt brass case is profusely decorated with floral swags, a two handled urn and a pair of dolphins beneath the dial. Quality of the modelling is very high with excellent, crisp detail. The dial is heavy brass with 12 individual enamel cartouches for each hour and is complete with the original blue steel hands. The back door is glazed to allow the movement to be seen. French movement is of the highest quality and is by Jarrot Freres, the movement has the Jarrot Freres mark on the movement backplate. Our clockmaker has cleaned and serviced the movement - it is in excellent clean and running condition. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. We have replaced the missing pendulum. Click the movie below to hear the gong and watch the clock running! Condition of the gilding is
excellent with a bright and clean finish, there is some very minor wear, tarnish
or discolouration in places and no losses to the case. Dial is also in excellent
condition with just some very very small chips to the edges of some the
cartouches. These are not noticeable except on very close inspection. The clock
is in fantastic condition as you can see in the pictures below! A stunning Antique French clock ready for your home! Dimensions of clock: Height 18 3/4", Width 10 1/2", Depth 5".
