~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning original antique French gilt brass clock set. It is modelled in the Barque style with a lions mask, grotesque masks to the sides, hairy paw feet and an elaborate fretted Baroque broken arch to the top. Candelabra have branches formed of mythical creatures and are complete with snuffers. The clock set is beautifully detailed and well finished.

The dial is enamel on copper with blued steel hands.

The French movement is of very high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully serviced by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!

Condition of the case is excellent with clean and bright finish and there are no losses. There is some very minor wear to the original gilding on the high spots. The dial is in excellent condition, no chips or scratches, just some slight fading on the number 8.

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