Cloisonné Enamel Mounted Ormolu Antique French Clock

~ French - Circa 1900 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A rare and stunning original antique French clock by A.D. Mougin. It is beautifully modelled in ormolu (gilded bronze/brass) and mounted with exquisite cloisonné or champlevé enamel work. It is in the classical style of Louis XVI with floral swags, arched top surmounted by an enamel urn and pillars. Impeccably prepared and tested in our workshop, ready for you to display. 

The dial is enamel on copper with a bronze centre with enamel work. It is complete with original finely fretted blued steel hands and convex glass to the hobnail bezel.

The French movement is of high quality and has the A.D. Mougin clockmaker's mark on the backplate. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker and thoroughly tested. 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 case has been cleaned and freshly lacquered to preserve the finish. The enamel is also in excellent condition with no damage. The dial has some hairlining and some chipping round the winding holes. This is a stunning and desirable clock set to add to your collection.
