Japy Freres Antique French Rococo Ormolu Clock - Fully Restored

$3,700.10List Price

About the Item

A particularly fine and decorative 19th century French ormolu (finely gilded bronze) mantel clock, richly cast in the Rococo taste. The clock is surmounted by an exquisite cherub seated within a shell grotto, listening intently, while a second cherub sits below upon an acanthus scroll playing a whistle. These charming figures give the piece a playful, musical quality, very much in the romantic Rococo taste. The white enamel dial, with Roman numerals and finely pierced hands, is framed by a richly chased gilt bronze bezel with convex glass. The whole rests on a bold, shaped scrolling base, the composition full of movement, charm and decorative presence. The French movement is by Japy Freres and is of the clockmaker's usual high quality. 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, 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 wear and discolouration. Dial is also very good with just a faint hairline near the 7 o'clock. Japy Freres clockmaker's mark on the movement backplate Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required. Dimensions of clock: inches: Height 12", Width 8 1/2", Depth 61/2" centimetres: Height 30.5 cm, Width 21.5 cm, Depth 16.5 cm
