French Ormolu Clock Garniture,

The timepiece has a gold face with black Roman numerals and hands, set within a square pillar shape case, mounted with bacchanalian/green man masks to both sides over a galleried base. Flanked by a pair of cherub candlesticks after Rousseau. Emblematic of night.

Heavy antique item, in good condition with light age related wear to the gilding, as is usual in a piece of this age. One of the cherubs is missing it’s bun and has a hole where it has come off, please see photo 8.

Mechanism in good working order. I personally recommend servicing all second hand clockwork mechanisms.

I have given it a quick wipe over, but as with all my items I don't over clean or polish, as some customers, especially prop buyers, prefer an original patina. So I leave the decision to polish to you. Due to age there may be the odd age related wear/mark.

Please see all photos using the zoom function available, as they constitute the item description.

Please note, I only ship internationally via eBay’s GSP service, as the U.K. does not provide a fully tracked service. Please note where possible packaging is recycled.
