French Napoleon III mantel clock in ormolu and pink porcelain

About the Item

A most attractive French porcelain and ormolu mantel clock with a profusion of porcelain panels. The original gilding is in excellent condition and there are lovely silver highlights to the ormolu. There is no damage of any kind to the porcelain. The clock is designed with the neo-classical in mind. The d-ended base has five porcelain plaques all incorporating neo-classical designs as does the plaque to the top of the clock over the dial and indeed the urn and cover surmounting the clock. The dial is porcelain and beside the clock housing are two altars burning the flames of everlasting love. Below the dial is a good plaque of a young couple in a classical landscape. The 8 day bell striking movement is stamped on the backplate Japy Freres et Cie and is numbered 2089. The movement is also marked LB either side of an anchor.
