About the Item

This charming late 19th century French clock set takes inspiration from a range of styles and periods, and is beautiful in its final execution.

The champleve enamel is decorated with floral motifs, and set on a turquoise ground. The dial features black Roman numerals set within circular ormolu plaques on a champleve enamel ground, within an ormolu border. The candelabra are decorated similarly, and contain four lights with circular drip pans attached to ornate ormolu branch supports. Measures: Clock: height 48cm, width 23.5cm, depth 12cm Candelabra: height 58cm, width 29cm, depth 20cm.

  • Ormolu and Champleve Enamel Antique French Clock by Le Roy & Fils
    By Vincenti et Cie, Le Roy
    Located in Belper, Derbyshire
    A magnificent Renaissance style clock by the renown Parisian clockmaking firm of Le Roy &Fils. Beautifully modelled in finely gilded bronze and finely decorated with exquisite polychrome champlevé enamel. The case is formed with an arched swan neck pediment surmounted by a turret with elaborate finial. To the sides are charming figures of cherubs clutching the baluster turned pillars. A third cherub is seated above the dial. The dial is also gilded bronze with champlevé enamel and is complete with original finely blued steel hands. The clock is decorated in the round with a frosted glass rear door. Please note that this type of clock does not have a glazed bezel to cover the dial. The French movement is of high quality and is by Vincenti et Cie. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is original. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. We have a video of the clock, please ask and we will send you a link. Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is particularly good with only minor wear where the clock has been handled and some light marks and discolouration. The rear most bun feet are missing however the clock sits very well without them. Rear frosted glass has some marks. Enamel is very good. Established by Basile Charles Le Roy in 1785, the firm of Le Roy et Fils became a well-established and renowned clockmaker. Basile had been Napoleon's master clockmaker, and along with his son Charles-Louis, he worked for Princess Pauline and the Duke de Bourbon as well. Examples of the firm's work are included in all of the major world collections. The firm was located at the Palais Royale from 1785, the year of its founding, through the death of Charles-Louis at Versailles in 1865. A shop was opened in London, in 1854 at 296 Regent Street under the name of Le Roy and Son. The name was later changed to Le Roy and Fils...
