Description
An impressive pendulum clock set with two side tables, crafted from bronze and Carrara marble, marked ‘A.D. Mougin Paris’ Seated upon the solid marble plinth (resting on six acanthus-leaf feet) is a putto reading whilst leaning against the clock case; the plinth itself features three bands of floral relief, with a woman’s face in the centre of the front band. The two side tables, each in the form of a putto bearing two candlesticks, are also made of marble and bronze; they each rest on four feet, and the base of each features a continuous relief band; one candlestick arm has an old repair mark. The fine pendulum movement, featuring a hook escapement and half-hour strike (via a lock disc), has been fully overhauled by a master watchmaker and runs for approximately 14 days; it is marked ‘A.D. Mougin Paris’. The original pendulum and the original key are included. The enamelled dial is well preserved; the front glass has a chip (at the 6 o’clock position). Overall, a very beautiful and decorative clock set. Dimensions of the clock: Height: 30 cm Width: 32 cm Depth: 11 cm Height of side table: 33 cm
