Large
and Magnificent Clock Set ~ French - Circa 1890 ~ ~~ Excellent condition ~~ A stunning gothic clock
set of very large and impressive proportions. The clock itself is of 'drum head'
shape with a particularly large cast and engraved brass dial mounted on a
waisted support which is mounted on a wide quatrefoil base. This is ornately
decorated with fretwork and mounted with finials at each corner. The dial is
finely modelled and engraved with a minute ring. The hours are lettered onto 12
individual enamel copper cartouches which are mounted to the brass dial. To the
sides of the dial are two large and very nicely modelled winged dragons which
form stylised handles. The top of the clock is surmounted by an urn with
grotesque masks and a fleur-de-lis finial. Candelabra are conforming in style
and surmounted by 4 arms. It is particularly suitable for display in the centre of your room. The candelabra are modelled in the round as is the clock and the rear door of the clock is glazed to allow the movement to be seen. The movement is of excellent quality and is by the famous maker A D Mougin. It runs for 8 days and strikes half-hourly on a bell. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker and is complete with its original pendulum and bell. Click the movie below to see and hear the movement working! Condition of the case is
excellent with a bright and clean finish, some minor wear on the high spots.
Dial is also in excellent condition with just some very very minor chipping around the
outside edges of the cartouches. The candelabra arms are
very slightly distorted. The set looks great as you can see in the pictures
below! A very large and impressive clock set, ready to display!
