French 19th Century Provincial Horloge Case Clock

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 94-½”H x 20”W x 8-½”D

A carved crest of a basket with flowers crowns this heavily carved oak case clock, c. mid 1800’s. A glazed-panel door just below the crest is flanked by sides with pierced half-moon carvings and houses the painted enamel clock face with Roman numerals and pierced brass hands. The pressed brass fronton surrounding the clock’s face is quite stunning and has a horn of plenty, rising sun, basket of flowers, floral and foliate motifs. The clock has a weight driven escapement and strikes on the hour, two minutes past the hour and half hour. Just below is the rectilinear raised and recessed panel columnar door with extensive carvings and a glazed cabochon revealing the brass bob. The cabinet has basket, floral, ribbon, guilloche, pearl, urn and lea & berry motif carvings. The whole sits on a plinth base. This clock has been cleaned and is in working condition.
