Description

This is an exceptional Victorian French mantel clock with beautiful ormolu mounts in the form of two winged cherubs peering from the crest of the clock. There are doves holding swagged chain to the side mounts and pretty butterflies mounted centrally on a torch crossed with a quiver of arrows. There is a very minor chip to the porcelain dial, below the VI numeral, only really noticeable on close inspection. This is in splendid condition having been extensively restored by our clock restorer as shown in photograph 11 (clock and case dismantled for repair) 12 (movement restored and on test) and photo 13 (showing case restored ready for refitting of movement) The clock runs for 8 days striking a lovely tone on a bell on the hour and half hour. This is a really decorative piece and a lovely size measuring 38cm high, 28cm wide and 12cm deep.
