$12,800.00

A Late 19th Century French Ormolu Bronze & Champlevé Enamel 8-Day Regulator Clock by Japy Freres is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and ornate beauty of French horology during that period.

This regulator clock, crafted from ormolu bronze, reflects the opulence and meticulous attention to detail characteristic of French clockmaking. The addition of champlevé enamel further elevates its aesthetic appeal, showcasing intricate designs and vibrant colors worked into the enamel's surface.

Its 8-day regulator movement, a feature that allows the clock to operate for eight days on a single winding, speaks to its precision and reliability as a timekeeping instrument. Such clocks were often displayed in prominent settings, not only for their functional purpose but also as stunning decorative pieces that symbolized luxury and sophistication.

Intricately adorned with elaborate detailing in its bronze casting and enhanced by the artistry of champlevé enamel, this clock represents the pinnacle of French clockmaking artistry from the late 19th century.
