 The clock and candelabra stand on integral bases and have hairy paw feet. The urns have lions mask handles and are surmounted by four branches.

The dial is enamel on copper and is complete with original blued steel hands.

The French movement is of high quality and has the Vincenti mark on the movement backplate. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully serviced by our clockmaker. Pendulum is an old 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 very minor wear to the original gilding on the high spots. The dial is also in excellent condition with just a slight hairline near the right hand winding hole.

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

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 employee two qualified clockmakers who overhaul the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they will run trouble free.
