About the Item

A rare and impressive antique French clock, modelled as an elephant carrying a howdah with a tiger being fought of by the mahout. Beautifully modelled in bronze patinated metal with highlights in gilt. The elephant is mounted on a green marble base with gilt feet. The dial is bronze with twelve enamel cartouche letters and finely cut gilt brass hands. The rear door is glazed to allow the movement to be seen. The clock is modelled in the round so would display very nicely in the centre of a room or in front of a mirror. The French movement is of high quality and 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 bronze patination is very good with some very slight wear in places. The case has a small casting fault to the rear of the left hand side of the howdah and a small piece missing from the front of the right side. Marble base has a chip to the bottom of the left hand side. There is a slight chip to the number seven cartouche and next to the winding holes. Complete with original pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
