Very Ornate French 19th Century Bronze and Porcelain Clock Garniture, Candelabra are also decorated with cut crystal brilliants, with a Balance Escapement Striking Movement, in Fully Working Condition

 

Very ornate and colorful set, very similar to the clock owned by the unfortunate French queen Marie Antoinette, who was executed by the French Revolution. The last photo shows the actual Marie Antoinette clock, now in a museum. Outside of the usual (and very minor) bronze tarnish, I see no damage anywhere. The movement is fully functional (but could use a good cleaning), with a balance escapement (so, unlike a pendulum based clock, does not need to be carefully balanced to put it in beat). I will include a key as well. Pictures speak for themselves, but do let me know if you have any additional questions. The clock measures approximately 18" high, candelabras are around 17" high. No international shipping on this set, it is too large.

I am not doing any business, buying or selling, with anyone residing in Russia until Russia withdraws from Ukraine, no exceptions.


I am not a clock dealer - I am a clock collector and a member of NAWCC. I currently have more than 200 clocks and I keep buying more, so I have to sell some. I would be selling many more if I had the time to list them...

Please note that I will not ship to an address that is different from the one listed by eBay or PayPal unless the winning bidder can really prove to me that the address is legitimate.

My prefered shipping for this is FedEx Home Delivery - UPS has been very bad at handling packages lately. Please note that FedEx shipments require destination's phone number, if eBay does not have yours and you are concerned about releasing it to me, we can find an alternate method of shipping.
