About the Item

A stunning antique French ormolu clock set, circa 1870, mounted with exquisite Sèvres style porcelain with Rose Pompadour pink ground. Panels to the centre of the dial and the urns feature finely painted scenes of a young couple in a tranquil country landscape. The curved panels to the sides are intricately decorated with motifs of the arts, flowers and birds. Dial is formed as part of the front porcelain panel with gold letters applied to white reserves with turquoise 'jewel' half-hour markers. Porcelain is very delicately painted with over-glaze gilt decoration with classical scrolls, folliage and ribbons. The finely gilded bronze is in lovely original condition, crisply modelled and finely finished. To the top is a handled urn decorated with flowers. The clock is modelled in the round with a glazed rear door to allow the movement to be seen. The rear of the urns are also decorated with tranquil river scenes. 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 running, please ask and we will send you a link. Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with some slight wear to the high spots and to the rear. There is some slight discolouration and marks. The porcelain is in excellent condition with no damage. There is some wear to the over-glaze gilt decoration and the majority of the applied turquoise 'jewels' are missing. Complete with original pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.
