Louis XV Style Black Lacquered Longcase Clock with Dore Bronze Ormolu Mountings

About the Item

A grand longcase clock produced in Italy in the 1970s in a rococo Louis XV style with dore bronze ormolu mountings and wood inlay decorating a black-lacquered wood case. The German-made clock’s two-barrel spring movement is a Hermle calibre 130-627 by celebrated clockmaker Franz Hermle and can be set to strike on the half-hour. The clock dial is set within a braided gilt framed door with a patterned inlaid wood veneer background echoed elsewhere on the upper clock case, which sits independently atop the lower case. The brass fenestrated hands are in the French style of the late 18th century, and the dial has gilt brass Roman numerals set at each quarter hour. Rosettes in ormolu are placed halfway between each of the quarter hour numerals. A smaller brass ring encloses the dial center with inlaid flowers in colorful, but muted tones. The half-arches atop the clock case reach toward a gilded metal Greco-Roman winged god figure. The lower case is wider than normal, creating a commanding stance, and opens to reveal storage space with one fixed shelf in front of an upholstery-covered backing. Dore bronze rosettes adorn the feet of the cabinet. Additional photos available upon request. Full restoration of the clock case and lower cabinet is available at pass-through cost.
