Rococo Antique French Gilt Brass Clock Set
by A. D. Mougin

~ French - Circa 1900 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning original antique French clock set. It is beautifully modelled in gilded brass in the Rococo style. Sweeping C scrolls, elaborately flowing floral swags and shells adorn the waisted shape. Candelabra are conforming in style with handled urns and arms of twisting foliage. Nozzles and drip trays are formed as flower buds and petals.  

The dial is enamel on copper with a blue hour ring and separate outside minute ring. It is complete with it's original finely fretted gilt brass hands and convex glazed Rococo bezel. The rear door is also glazed to the allow the movement to be seen.

The French movement is of high quality and is by A. D. Mougin. It has the clockmakers mark on the movement backplate. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video clip 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 and there are no losses. The dial is also in excellent condition just some tiny nibbles next to the winding holes. Candelabra are slightly distorted. The set makes a stunning display as you can see below.
