Very Large and Stunning Candelabra Clock Set - Japy Freres

~ French - Circa 1890 ~

~~ Excellent condition ~~ 

A truly stunning clock set by Japy Freres standing at over 2 feet in height - much of the original gilding remains which is bright and clean. 

The style is gothic, featuring mermaids to the sides of the clock and the candelabra. There are also winged mythical creatures. The clock and the candelabra are architecturally designed - heavily and finely modelled.

The dial is designed in the manner of 18th century examples. Each dial letter is an individual cartouche, enamelled on copper and pinned to a heavy cast back plate. The bezel is heavy hobnailed and is fitted with convex glass.

The clock has a fretted back to allow the pendulum to be seen and the candelabra are modelled in the round - the clock set would look great from both sides for example in the middle of a room as well as against a wall.

The French Japy Freres movement is of excellent quality and runs for 8 days and strikes on a bell. It is in excellent, clean and running condition -  it is complete with the original pendulum and bell . Click the movie below to hear the bell!

Condition of the clock and candelabra is excellent, there are no losses and the enamel cartouches of the dial have no cracks or chips - just a little wear to the top of the 12 which is hardly visible. The blued steel hands are original. The original gilt finish is still present -  there are some small areas of discolouration / tarnish / wear - however the clock set looks fantastic!

An superb, large clock set ready to display!

Dimensions of clock: Height 25 1/2", Width 12", Depth 7 1/4".
