Large Antique French Rococo Gilt Bronze Clock Set

~ French - Circa 1900 ~

~~ Excellent condition, fully overhauled ~~

A stunning and large original antique French gilded bronze clock set. It is of the most beautiful Rococo style, waisted case decorated with bold 'C' scrolls, acanthus leaves and standing on an integral base. To the top is a Rococo urn.  Candelabra have 4 elaborate acanthus arms held aloft on asymmetric urns and with conforming bases.

The dial is also porcelain enamel on copper, cream with black lettering, original finely fretted gilt hands and convex glass. The rear door is also glazed to allow the movement to be seen.

The high quality French movement is by Samuel Marti and has the makers mark on the movement backplate. It 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 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 dial is also in excellent condition with no damage. The original glass has some light scratches.

About us  - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in  France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in  original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have  developed over many years. We employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul  the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they  will run trouble free. 

Duty and Taxes - Most countries do not charge import duty on antiques. Some countries charge sales tax. For USA this will be collected by ebay. For UK VAT is included in the price and we pay that for you. For Australia there is sales tax, it will be collected by the courier. All other countries please check your customs website for details. Sadly we have no control over your countries tax regime!

International Shipping is no problem - fully insured

  We use a premium courier such as UPS, DHL etc or a dedicated/specialist  antiques courier.
