Fine Ormolu and Sèvres Porcelain Clock ~ Gun Dog ~

Exquisite Sèvres style porcelain panels have a Bleu Celeste ground and are finely painted with animals, hunting horns, a gun and floral swags. To one side is a motif of hunting with a hare, a horn and a gun and to the other a motif of fishing with an anchor and the days catch.

The dial is porcelain enamel on copper, it is signed to the bottom and is complete with its original Breguet hands. Please note that this type of clock does not has a glazed bezel or a rear door.

The French movement is of superb quality and is by Achille Brocot & Delettrez. It is in excellent clean and running condition having been fully overhauled by our clockmaker. Pendulum is a replacement. It runs for 8 days and strikes the hours and halves on a bell. Click the video to hear the bell and watch the clock running.

Condition of the case is excellent, the original gilding is beautifully clean and bright with some slight wear in places, particularly the rear (where less gold was originally applied) and the leaves below the dog. Porcelain is also excellent with just some slight wear to the overglaze gilt decoration. The dial has some hairlineing. There is an old repair to one rear foot.

Complete with pendulum, bell and a suitable key. Full setting up instructions supplied if required.

About us  - All of our clocks are original antiques, we source most of our clocks in  France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK. We prefer to buy our clocks in  original 'dirty' condition. We then clean the cases using a technique we have  developed over many years. We employ two qualified clockmakers who overhaul  the movements. Movements are thoroughly tested until we are satisfied that they  will run trouble free.
