Japy Freres Clock Set - Superb ~ French - Circa 1890 ~ ~~ Excellent condition ~~ A Large and impressive Antique French Gothic clock set. The set is beautifully made in gilt brass - very heavy, crisply modelled and beautifully finished. The style is typical of French gothic, with lions masks, hairy paw feet and flowing foliage. The body of the clock is fretted and modelled as a niche embedded in the overgrown foliage. The front of the clock is fretted to lighten the design and enable the pendulum to be seen. The clock is complete with a matching pair of 6 light candelabra. Japy Freres movement is of the highest quality and has the Japy Freres mark on the back plate. Our clockmaker has cleaned and serviced the movement - it is in excellent clean and running condition. We have replaced the missing pendulum. The hands have been replaced at some time but look great. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the movie 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 wear to the
original gilding on the high spots and some slight
discolouration or tarnish in one or two areas. The dial is also in excellent
condition with no chips or cracks. There is some very slight
distortion to the candelabra. The clock looks
great as you can see below! A beautiful and excellent quality clock set ready for your home! Dimensions of clock: Height 22", Width 14
