Catalog Description:

C.1855, French, Large Boulle Bracket clock in very good original condition. This clock has a large square movement with large outside countwheel, and with the die stamp of Vincenti, 1855 Paris medal winners. The tortoise shell and brass inlay case is still in quite good condition, with only minor loose pieces, and some repairs. The mounts are fabulous, the central mount of a lady in flowing gown holding the key to knowledge in her left hand, a cornucopia in her right hand, flaked by a lion and a child holding a world globe. Above the dial is a bust of music with a lyre over her head and the apex of the clock is Goddess of the Sea standing on 2 dolphins and with a labster on her wrist. The bracket has mythical faces at either corner and a cast floral piece at the bottom. We can see no obvious absence of any mount, certainly amazing considering the size and age of this piece. Note the clock is front heavy when the door is open, so exercise care. movement running but would benefit from service. Width 24 inches, Height 55 inches
