Full Item Description:


Up for sale is a stunning, beautifully detailed Antique Victorian / Rococo Revival Figural Cherub Desk Clock, standing at approximately 10 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide. This elegant boudoir clock is a perfect display piece for a vanity, writing desk, or fireplace mantel.


Cosmetic Condition:

The exterior casing is in absolute MINT vintage/antique cosmetic condition. The original gold gilded finish is incredibly bright, well-preserved, and exhibits beautiful depth with crisp details throughout the ornate scrollwork and the figural cherub stem. The underside displays a beautiful, authentic sand-cast texture from its original historical manufacture. The dial features a lovely aged patina with classic Arabic numerals and ornate hands.


Mechanical / Working Condition:

Please note that the clock is currently sold as-is for parts, repair, or decorative use. The pocket-watch style wind-up movement does not run consistently. If gently shaken, the internal gears/balance wheel will briefly tick and spin for a few seconds before stopping, indicating that the mechanism likely just needs a professional ultrasonic cleaning and fresh oil to clear out decades of dried lubrication.


This is a phenomenal opportunity for a collector or horologist to acquire a piece in flawless aesthetic condition that simply needs a quick movement servicing to be brought fully back to life.


I have wound once and moved back & forth and the gear under the hands works and then stops.
