A Large and impressive antique French Gothic clock set by Louis Japy; beautifully made in gilt brass, very heavy and crisply modelled and with much of 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 through the fretwork.

The matching candelabra are 6 light and the bases are modelled to compliment the design of the clock.

The superb dial is gilt brass with 12 enamel cartouche letters applied for the hours.
