Antique French Rococo Clock Set by Louis Japy ~ French - Circa 1880 ~ ~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~ A beautiful original antique French Rococo clock set by Louis Japy. Finely modelled in gilt bronze with a waisted case, formed of asymmetric scrolls with floral swags and a Rococo flourish to the top. Candelabra are conforming in style and have scrolling arms of acanthus.

The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with finely cut and fretted gilt brass hands and a Rococo bezel.

The French movement is of high quality and is by Louis Japy. It 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 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 dial is also in excellent condition, just a small chip to the edge at the fifteen minutes.
