Japy Freres Bracket Clock and Garniture Set - Large and Stunning. ~ French - Circa 1880 ~ ~~ Excellent condition ~~ This is a very good quality clock garniture by the famous maker Japy Freres. The set is classical in style with the clock architecturally designed as a bracket clock with four pillars enclosing panels of blind fret work. Inverted-bell top is also blind fretted and surmounted by an urn with a pair of mythical creatures. The superb dial has an engraved minute ring and is mounted with individual enamel cartouches for each letter. Above this is a goddess mask with an arch over. Candelabra have conforming bases with a vase above mounted with mythical creatures. The four branches are modelled as stylised foliage. This is a heavy, well made and finished clock set, modelling is bold and sharp with fine and well finished detail. Japy Freres movement is of high quality and features a pin-pallet "dead beat" escapement and removable main spring barrels. Our clockmaker has cleaned and serviced the movement - it is in excellent clean and running condition. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the movie below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!
Condition of the case is excellent with clean and bright
finish and there are no losses. There is some wear and some slight
discolouration or tarnish in one or two areas. There is some very slight
distortion to the candelabra. Cartouche dial is excellent, no
chips or scratches. The clock looks
great as you can see below! A superb Japy Freres clock set ready for your home! Dimensions of clock: Height 20
