Large Antique French Gothic  Candelabra Clock Set.

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled & working ~~ 

A Large and impressive antique French Gothic clock set, beautifully made in gilt brass, very heavy and crisply modelled and with much of the original gilding remaining. The style is typically French gothic, architecturally designed with lions masks, hairy paw feet, flowing foliage and surmounted by a bell. The body of the clock is fretted and modelled as a niche embedded in the overgrown foliage. The pendulum can be glimpsed swinging through the fretwork.

The matching candelabra are 6 light and the bases are modelled to compliment the design of the clock, they are complete with snuffers. 

Dial is also brass, mounted with 12 individual enamel cartouches for the hours.       

Antique French movement is is of excellent quality, runs for 8 days on one wind and strikes half-hourly on a bell. It has been fully restored in our workshop and is on excellent clean and running condition. The pendulum is a replacement. Click the video clip below to see and hear the movement working!
