ITEM DESCRIPTION
This is an antique, large, magnificent and very rare rococo clock made in France by Vincenti about 1840. This is a really exceptional clock because several reason:
In the first place, this is with no doubt the rarest clock ever made by Vincenti, because is the only Vincenti clock i have seen made in gilt wood and stucco. A clock completely handmade and not using a mold as the rest of Vincenti clocks made with metal cases (bronze or pewter).
In the second place, it has the movement with a no year seal (it means with ¨¨medaille d'argent 1834¨), and not with the seal of a 1955 year (medaille d'argent 1855) that is very more common that this one.
I the third place, this piece has one of the most profuse, intricate and voluptuous rococo ornamentation i have seen in a clock, not just with a large height of 19 inches, but with a large wide of 13 inches and depth of 7 1/2 inches. A very fabulous and impressive rococo clock with a great eye catching look and two big floral frontal legs (see detailed pictures i took from different angles to show its magnificence). With no doubt, this is most beautifulgilt wood and stuccorococo clock i have seen or found.
The enamel dial with blue numerals is in excellent condition (very rare to find a so old clock with dial in this perfect condition).The french 8 days movement by Vincenti has striking function for hours. The movement is in running order and keeping time (cleaned and oiled) with the strikework functioning as it should when tested.
