About the Item
A large and magnificent clock set by the renown bronze founder H Luppens of Brussels. Classically modelled in the Louis XVI style, the clock features three ormolu cherubs toiling to support a large deep blue lacquered orb that contains the clock movement and dial. The sunburst pendulum swings gently below.
The orb is studded with ormolu stars and above butterflies delicate land upon a floral arrangement. The candelabra are modelled en suite with cherubs carrying the weight of five lights modelled as scrolling foliage. The three elements are mounted on white Carrera marble bases swagged with flowers tied with bows. The dial is porcelain enamel on copper, cream with delicate swags painted between the numerals. It is complete with it's original finely cut gilt hands. The bezel is set with paste jewels and convex glass. The set is beautifully made and finished in finely gilded bronze ormolu.
The French movement is of superb quality and is by Samuel Marti. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. 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 set, please ask and we will send you a link to it.

Marble is also excellent with a good polish, some slight staining and nibbles to the edges. Blue orb has some light scratches and wear to the original lacquer. Dial is excellent with no damage, some slight fading.
