Exquisite French Gilt and Porcelain Boudoir clock Set
~ Sevrés Style Porcelain ~
~ Circa 1880 ~
Absolutely beautiful Louise XVI Style porcelain clock set. The bottle shaped urns are decorated with landscapes while the clock has landscapes to the pillars and cherubs to the front porcelain panel and the porcelain finial. The style is tasteful and restrained as is typical of good quality French Clocks.
The movement is good quality by the well known and renown makers A.D Mougin. It runs for 8-days and strikes on a coiled gong. Click to here the movement strike. We have cleaned and serviced the movement which is in very good condition and running well. The case is in very good condition - looks like it may have been re-finished some time ago. There is just a small repair to one of the columns which is hardly noticeable and does not effect the display. The colour of the background of the urns is different from that of the clock - the urns are more blue.
Original pendulum bearing the movement serial number.
The clock is complete with its three wooden bases which are covered with velvet and edged with gesso. The gesso has worn through to the orange/red under paint and the velvet is worn giving a real shabby-chateau to the piece.
The clocks gesso base has an inscription plaque applied which you can view below.
