Antique Bronze French Empire Louis XV Style Striking Mantel Clock For Repair
Item History & Price
Here we have a highly ornate French Empire Louis XV style Mantel Clock.This does have some issues so it's more priced on the Case Value.This is a top quality 19th Century Bronze Case, The movement currently installed is a Japy freres Med D'Honneur.This has however previously been replaced as isn't original to the Face (an extra hole was made for the regulating Bar). Also the Back Door isn't original as it is slightly smaller.The movement itself requires a suspension spring al...so the Chime will require attention as having trouble striking.The 8 O'Clock Roman Numerals have been off and white enamel paint is going over the numerals.The 3 O'Clock appears to have been glued back on.Also one of the side top pediments is a little loose so will require tightening from inside.This is a nice project to take on as this will be a high end Clock once completed.The Patina that has developed to the Bronze is stunning.Total height 35cm, width 22cm, depth 13.5cm.Glass diameter 11cm, Back opening diameter 10.2cm.
