About the Item

An impressive and richly ornamented French mantel clock executed in the exuberant Louis XV Revival taste, dating to the late 19th century and housing an authentic AD Mougin movement. The architectural case is profusely decorated with scrolling rocaille ornament, pierced elements, acanthus motifs, mascarons, and elaborate cast side handles, all surmounted by a monumental urn finial framed by cascading floral garlands. The clock displays the dramatic sculptural vocabulary characteristic of the finest Belle Époque decorative arts, combining strong architectural symmetry with highly animated Rococo ornamentation. Particularly striking is the deeply modeled openwork decoration surrounding the dial, creating an exceptional play of light and shadow across the gilt surface. The original white enamel dial remains in very good condition with elegant black Arabic numerals and finely shaped steel hands beneath a beveled glazed door. The movement bears the AD Mougin mark, one of the best-known French clock manufacturers of the late 19th century, whose workshops supplied movements for many high-quality Parisian decorative clocks of the period. The case has undergone professional restoration and regilding in the past. The current gilt finish presents visible tonal variation and areas where warmer bronze undertones remain perceptible beneath the gilding, giving the surface a layered antique appearance. The movement has been cleaned and serviced; the clock runs well, while the striking mechanism currently requires adjustment or additional restoration. An exceptionally decorative large-scale French clock, equally suited for classical, eclectic, or contemporary interiors where strong sculptural decorative objects are desired. Dimensions: 49 cm high × 27 cm wide × 16 cm deep 19.3 in high × 10.6 in wide × 6.3 in deep Condition: The clock has undergone relatively recent restoration. The case was regilded using an electroplating process; however, the gilding did not adhere evenly throughout, and areas of tonal variation and visible spotting remain across the surface. The enamel dial is well preserved without visible losses, and the glass has been replaced. The movement has undergone ultrasonic cleaning and was tested running continuously for eight days without interruption, operating correctly as intended. However, the striking mechanism is currently not functioning and may require adjustment or further calibration. Minor age-related wear and patina throughout.
