Large Antique French Ormolu Rococo Clock Set ~ Dolphins

Candelabra bases also feature a dolphin in a niche. The set is beautifully made and finished in ormolu (finely gilded bronze doré). The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with finely pieced and engraved ormolu hands.

The French movement is of high quality and is by A. D. Mougin. 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 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 just an occasional light mark. Candelabra are slightly distorted and the central drip trays may have been replaced at sometime.

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.
