Antique Clock Set ~ by A. D. Mougin

~ French - Circa 1890 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A large and stunning original antique French clock set. It is beautifully made in gilt brass in the Baroque style. It features an armorial bearing to the front with a shield and wings, flanked by mythical creatures. Above the dial is a goddess mask and a large ornate urn. The clock stands on paw feet. Candelabra are conforming in style with elaborate arms modelled as scrolling foliage. Flame snuffers sit in the middle nozzle as a finial when not in use.      

The large dial is ornately cast in brass and mounted with 12 individual shield shaped enamel cartouche letters.

The French movement is of high quality and is by A. D. Mougin, the makers mark is on the movement backplate. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled 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, 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 to the cartouches. Candelabra are slightly distorted and there is an old repair to one arm which is hardly noticeable. The set makes a stunning display as you can see below.
