Antique Clock ~ Stunning Rococo Boudoir Table Clock by Japy Freres

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A beautiful original antique boudoir clock modelled in the Rococo style in gilded brass. It is of waisted keyhole shape, decorated with elaborate foliate scrolls, acanthus shoulders and 'C' scrolls. To the top is a large and elaborate finial of entwined floral swags and 'C' scrolls. It stands on its original integral base with boldly scrolling feet. The front is fretted above and below the dial to lighten the design. SOLD

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

The French movement is by Japy Freres and is of high quality as one would expect. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled 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, beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The dial is also in excellent condition just some tiny nibbles next to the winding holes.
