Marble and Ormolu Portico Boudoir Clock

~ French - Circa 1890 ~

~~ Excellent condition ~~

A very pretty boudoir clock, a classical four column portico with the clock mounted between with the pendulum swinging below. It is made of the most beautiful variegated specimen marble which is mounted with ormolu (gilded brass).

The original pendulum is visible swinging below the clock and is modelled as a basket of flowers. The enamel dial is decorated with delicate floral swags and is complete with the original finely fretted gilt hands. The back door of the clock is glazed to allow the movement to be seen.

The French movement is of excellent quality and has the clockmakers mark on the movement backplate. It runs for 8 days and strikes on a bell and is complete with the original bell and pendulum. It is in excellent working order. Click the movie below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!

Condition of the case is excellent, the marble has a good polish and has no major chips or marks. The ormolu is clean and bright with just some minor wear/tarnish in places. The dial is also in excellent condition with no chips or cracks.

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

A very pretty boudoir clock ready to display!
