Antique Clock Set - Stunning Sevres Porcelain and Ormolu

~ French - Circa 1880 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A beautiful antique French ormolu (gilt bronze) clock set with exquisitely decorated Sevres style porcelain panel, urn and dial. The style is Louis XVI, decorated with acanthus, scrolling foliage and cornucopia. The clock has a porcelain dial featuring a cherub with a basket of flowers and beneath this is a delicately painted scene of a young couple. To the top of the clock is a porcelain urn delicately painted with a country scene. Candelabra have matching bases with porcelain urns painted with country scenes and elaborate arms.

The dial is signed for the retailer and is complete with hand cut brass hands and bezel with convex glass.

The French movement is of high quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully dismantled, cleaned, inspected, re-assembled and tested by our clockmaker who has also replaced the missing pendulum. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video below to hear the bell and watch the clock running!

Condition of the case is excellent with clean and bright finish to the original gilding and there are no losses. Porcelain is also excellent, no chips to the dial, panel or urns. The over-glaze gilt decoration is worn in places on the urns. Candelabra are slightly distorted. The set displays beautifully as you can see below!

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