It is of the the highest quality, beautifully modelled and finished in glorious ormolu (finely gilded bronze or doré bronze). It is of balloon form with bold scrolls and acanthus swags. To the top a large rococo flourish. The large dial is enamel on copper and is complete with it's original finely fretted gilt brass hands and convex bezel. The French movement is of high quality and has the makers mark on the movement backplate of Louis Japy. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker and thoroughly tested before presenting it for sale. Pendulum is an old replacement. 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.

The movement is marked for the clockmaker Louis Japy. Charles Hour is listed in Tardy, Dictionnaire Des Horloges.

Together they became one of the most important clock makers in France.
