Early Ormolu and Sèvres Porcelain Clock by Japy Fils

To the top is an elaborate urn with rams head handles and removable cover with pineapple finial and to each side is a charming mask of old father time.  The dial is also porcelain and is painted with a cherub in the manner of François Boucher. Reserves are painted with the twelve roman numerals in gilt. It is complete with its original finely fretted gilt hands. Please note that this type of clock does not has a glazed bezel or a rear door.

The French movement is of high quality and is by Japy Fils. 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 some areas of wear and tarnish particularly to the rear and the lower left hand side. The porcelain is also excellent with no damage, just some wear to the overglaze gilt decoration, particularly to the dial where it has been touched while setting the hands of the years. 

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