~ Antique French - Circa 1870 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled and running ~~

A massive, stunning and top quality antique French clock set. It is classical in style with a restrained and chic design featuring lions mask handles to the sides and hairy paw feet. It is beautifully made in brass / bronze with a thick, heavy gilding which is in a stunning, clean and bright condition. The flat areas of the design are beautifully polished and shine.

The large gilt brass dial is fitted with 12 individual enamel cartouche letters and blued steel hands. Candelabra are conforming in style and stand gracefully tall with five branches.

The French movement is of high quality and 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 with clean and bright finish and there are no losses. There are some marks and some slight wear to the original gilding. The dial is also in excellent condition with no chips or scratches.

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