About the Item

A large and early original antique French figural clock featuring a dog in his kennel with his master alongside. Dating from circa 1850, it is beautifully modelled and finished in gilt bronze. To the left of the kennel is the dogs bowl. The base is modelled with elaborate scrolls and leaves and the pendulum can be glimpsed swinging through the front. The case is marked with the movement serial number to the reverse. The dial is porcelain enamel on copper with its original blued steel moon hands and has the retailers signature. Please note that this type of clock does not have a glazed bezel or a rear door. The French movement is of good quality and is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully serviced by our clockmaker. The retailers mark 'L.D.' is on the movement backplate. Pendulum is an old replacement. It runs for 8 days on one wind and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video below to hear the bell and watch the clock running! Condition of the case is good, there is some wear to the gilding and it has been polished to a clean and bright finish. The bezel opening of the case has a couple of holes that do not detract and the movement retaining ring is an old replacement. The dial has a slight chip and a faint hairline near the three o'clock position. Retailer's mark on the dial - Lagache is listed as working in 1838 in Boulogne-sur-Mer in Tardy, Dictionnaire des Horlogers. Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key.
