Liebray In Buchy, Grandfather Clock Dating From The 18th Century, Lantern Movement With Rooster

A very beautiful and antique grandfather clock dating from the 18th century. This rather rare model is a true collector's item that will appeal to art and history enthusiasts. It is painted in relief, a technique that highlights its delicate details and old-world charm. The motifs adorning this clock are exquisitely refined: colorful flowers decorate the sides, while the front features a symbolic representation of a child holding a scythe, adding a touch of mystery and poetry to the whole. It is entirely original, making it an authentic and precious object. Its gendarme-hat-shaped top is typical of creations from this period and testifies to the craftsmanship of the time. Inside, it houses a cock-shaped movement, also characteristic of the 18th century. This mechanism, marked on the enamel dial with the signature "LIEBRAY à BUCHY" in Normandy, is a guarantee of its origin and authenticity. The weights and cord are present, although no longer attached to the movement, and the pendulum is missing, preventing it from functioning again. Standing at an impressive 233 cm tall, this clock makes a striking centerpiece for any interior. It will add a touch of elegance and refinement to a living room, library, or entryway, while telling a story through its details and majestic presence. This clock is ideal for collectors seeking unique and historically significant pieces. It represents both an aesthetic and cultural investment, perfect for those who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship and pieces that have stood the test of time. Professional restoration would restore its full functionality while preserving its authenticity. This is a rare opportunity to acquire such an iconic piece of antique horology.
