Sèvres Porcelain and Ormolu Antique French Clock by Miroy Frères ~ French - Circa 1860 ~ ~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~ A superb early antique French ormolu and Sèvres style porcelain clock. It is made of exquisite ormolu (finely gilded bronze) mounted with very finely painted Sèvres style porcelain, exotic birds and flowers, with a blue ground. It is by the Parisian bronze founder / retailer Miroy Frères with the movement by Vincenti.

The dial is porcelain enamel on copper and is complete with its original finely cut gilt hands and is faintly signed for the bronze founder / retailer. Please note that this type of clock does not have a glazed bezel or a rear door.

The French movement is of high quality and is by Vincenti et Cie. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original. 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, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with hardly any wear or discolouration. The frame of the urn does have some wear. The porcelain is also excellent. The dial is very good, there is a chip to the left hand winding hole and the Miroy signature is rubbed and faint. 

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