Antique French Louis XV Gilt Bronze Clock ~ French - Circa 1880 ~ ~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~ A beautiful antique French gilt bronze clock by A. D. Mougin.  Modelled in architectural form and covered with scrolling acanthus decoration to represent a romantic ruin. To the top is an urn with pineapple finial and handles formed as torches entwined with foliage. The front of the clock is of pieced foliage to allow a glimpse of the pendulum gently swinging within.

The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with a gilt bronze center, original blued steel hands and convex glass.

The French movement is of high quality and is by A. D. Mougin. 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 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. The dial is also in very good condition just some nibbles and a light crack near the left hand winding hole.
