We will still try to answer any questions that you have.Thanks and Happy Holidays!Beautiful French Empire Period Ormolu Clock of large size. The neo-classical theme featuring a lady sitting on a rock next to a stream with her right foot just touching the water while her urn is spilling out into the stream. The very detailed rock is patinated bronze and the rest of the clock is gilt bronze. The fine details to all of the castings are amazing. The clock retains it\'s original mercury fire gilding. The original 8 day spring wound movement has silk thread suspension and strikes the hours and half hours on a bell. The clock retains it\'s Breguet style blued steel hands. The dial center is gilded and retains the original signature of the maker which reads: Guyerdet Aine, Rue Meslay No.48 A Paris. Tardy lists Guyerdet aine at Rue Meslay c.1830. The silvered chapter ring has darkened with age but is in it\'s untouched original state. The clock stands 23 3/4\" tall which is 60cm.
Note: The clock is in good running condition and has a correctly working but replaced pendulum and winding key. I believe that the back door to the clock which is glass and gilded brass is later, it would originally have been a plain open ring. There is some rubbing on the lady\'s knee which is more polished than the rest of her leg but the original gilding is still there and the color is right. The gilding hasn\'t been recently cleaned but is a lovely mellow color. The sides and back of the base are dirtier than the front but very acceptable.Please see photos, they are part of the description.
