Stunning Sevres Porcelain and Gilt Brass Clock Set.

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, stunning original gilding, fully overhauled and working ~~

A large and beautiful antique French gilt brass clock set with exquisitely decorated Sevres style porcelain panels and dial. The style is Rococo, waisted key hole shape decorated with elaborate 'c' scrolls and floral swags. The clock has a porcelain dial featuring a cherub with a basket of flowers. Beneath this is a delicately painted scene of a young couple, he serenades her with a flute. To the top of the clock is an urn painted with a country scene. Candelabra have matching bases above which is a porcelain urn. These are painted with individual scenes of the young man and the young lady. Candelabra are 5 light and are modelled as entwined foliage.

The back door is glazed to allow the movement to be seen.

The French movement is of the highest quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully dismantled, cleaned, inspected, re-assembled and tested by our clockmaker who has also replaced the missing pendulum. 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 with clean and bright finish to the original gilding and there are no losses. Porcelain is also excellent, no chips to the dial or panels. One candelabra urn has a light crack near the top and the other has evidence of an old repair. Candelabra arms are slightly distorted. The displays beautifully as you can see below!

Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
