Japy Frères Louis XVI Gilt Bronze Antique French Clock

About the Item

A stunning original antique French gilt bronze clock by the renown maker Japy Frères. Of architectural form, the case finely cast in gilt-bronze with neoclassical ornament, surmounted by a twin-handled urn issuing a bouquet of flowers. To the sides are classical relief panels, and the whole raised on a plinth base with acanthus scroll feet. The dial is also gilt bronze with 12 individual enamel cartouches and blued steel hands. Beneath the dial is a draped swag. The French movement is by Japy Frères and is of the company's usual high quality. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled and tested by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a 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 it to you (with sound). Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with some slight wear and discolouration. Dial is also excellent with just some slight nibbles to the winding holes and an occasional mark. The rear door is very slight distorted.
