Huge Antique French Brass Clock Set -
Vincenti et Cie

~ French - Circa 1870 ~

~~ Excellent condition ~~

A large and spectacular clock set in lovely clean and bright condition. The style is Baroque, the clock and candelabra modelled like a long forgotten romantic ruin. There are winged cherubs at the corners, a winged goddess beneath the dial, lots of swirling entangled foliage and mythical creatures forming the front feet. The top of the clock is modelled as a swan neck pediment with four finials and a large vase. Candelabra have conforming bases with vases above and then four branches. Candelabra have the original snuffers which match the finial of the clock.       

The superb dial is brass with twelve enamel on copper cartouches for each letter in the manner of Louis XV examples. The back door is glazed to allow the movement to be seen.

The French movement is by Vincenti et Cie and is of the highest quality. We have cleaned and serviced the movement which is full working order. We have replaced the missing pendulum. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell - click the movie below to see and hear the movement working!

Condition of the case is excellent with a bright and clean finish and no losses. Dial is also in excellent condition with just a very very small chip to the edges of the number 7 cartouche. The candelabra arms are slightly distorted.

Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.

A very large and impressive clock set ready for your home!
