Stunning Sevres Porcelain and Gilt Brass Clock Set

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A 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 musical instruments and beneath this is a delicately painted scene of a young couple. To the top of the clock is a large Rococo finial. Candelabra have matching bases with porcelain painted with country scenes and elaborate twisted acanthus arms coming together to form the stem.

The dial is signed for the retail and is complete with finely fretted brass hands and a Rococo bezel.

The French movement is of high 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. The over-glaze gilt decoration is worn. 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.
