Sèvres Porcelain and Champlevé Enamel Clock Set ~ French - Circa 1900 ~ ~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~ A rare and beautiful antique French clock garniture, in excellent original condition. Ormolu (fine gilded bronze) is mounted with exquisitely painted Sèvres style porcelain and inset with rich champlevé enamel. Porcelain is very finely painted with maidens and putti on a cream ground.

The case is hexagonal in shape with beveled glass to the rear 3 sides to allow the movement to be seen and the pendulum gently swinging within. The dial is also porcelain decorated with a putto with a Champlevé enamel surround.

The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original, ormolu with silver steel rod and inset with porcelain. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a gong.

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with only minor marks and discolouration. The porcelain is also excellent with no damage just some very slight wear to the over-glaze gilt decoration mainly to the dial. Champlevé enamel is in good condition with some slight losses in places. The front glass has some light scratches and the right hand glass panel has small chip to the edge which is not noticable.
