Stunning Antique French Gilt Brass Rococo Clock by Louis Japy

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning original antique French Rococo boudoir clock by Louis Japy. The case is beautifully waisted and subtly asymmetric in keeping with the Rococo taste. Sweeping scrolls, acanthus swags and a shell to the front decorate the case. To the top is a large and elaborate Rococo finial. It is beautifully modelled in gilded brass and impeccably prepared to a fine condition and tested in our workshop.   

The large enamel dial is the highly desirable cream with blue lettering. It is complete with original finely fretted gilt brass hands and Rococo bezel with convex glass.

The French movement is of high quality and has the Louis Japy mark on the movement backplate. 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, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration and there are no losses. The dial is also in excellent condition with no damage. This is a stunning clock in excellent condition ready for you to display.
