Description
Very rare Charles X period vase clock, circa 1830. Perfectly authentic and entirely original, without any modifications, and also retaining its original pendulum. The vase is made of a single piece of crystal, richly cut throughout with a main decoration of flattened pyramid-shaped diamond points and guilloché work on its flat surface.
A hole accommodates the entire dial and its mechanism with a specific mounting system that allows a large surface area of crystal to remain visible at the back of the vase. The original fixing knob is in mercury-gilded bronze, as are the dial and its thick, finely chased frame with a water leaf motif. Please note two minor imperfections at the base, front and back on the right side of the foot, which are insignificant and contribute to the authenticity of an object nearly 200 years old. As always, shipping is entirely our responsibility.
The mechanism is entirely original, with a silk thread suspension.

Easily pay for your purchases using our highly protected bank card system with SSL certificate and 256 bit encryption, ensuring confidentiality when any information is transferred.

Our items mainly stem from the inheritance of objects, preciously looked after over numerous generations. There is a stringent selection process for each object ensuring perfect authenticity and the optimal amount of gilding
We do not use the term “Restoration”, which implies a significant transformation or major repair that modifies an object’s authenticity or original appearance. Each object is completely dismantled, then thoroughly cleaned part by part; our cleaning technique restores shine without adversely affecting the gold. We then put the clock back together, returning all the various parts to their origin location, as well as all the nuts and screws. Subsequently, the item is inspected to ensure it is perfectly even, symmetrical, and smooth, etc.
The clock’s movement undergoes a complete overhaul; it is totally dismantled, cleaned and each individual part is polished. The duration of this procedure affects the shine: we prefer to obtain a brilliant shine, in keeping with the gilding of the object. To increase the strength and quality of the gears, we apply a very important procedure, known as bouchonnage, to correct for wear accumulated over years of operation, consisting in the placing cork of stoppers in any pivot holes that have become deformed by wear. After the clock has been completely reassembled, it is tested over a long period of time to ensure that the movement, as well as the hour and half-hour strikes, are operating correctly.
