Antique French Gilt Brass Clock

~ French - Circa 1870 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A very decorative original antique French clock. It is beautifully modelled in gilded brass in the Louis XVI classical style. The unusual enamel dial is supported by twin columns flanking an intricately decorated panel of an urn and foliage. The clock is profusely decorated with trailing entangled foliage and a large urn to the top. The dial is enamel on copper, an off-white background with raised cartouche style letters of black on white and blued steel hands. A glazed rear door allows the movement to be seen.

About us - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have developed over many years. We employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.
