Neoclassical Mantel Clock in Ormolu and Sevres Style Porcelain by Ernest Royer

About the Item

This splendid neoclassical style French mantel clock is beautifully crafted in ormolu and porcelain decorated in the Sevres style. 'ER', the mark of French clockmaker Ernest Royer, active in the later 19th Century, is stamped on the underside of the ormolu mounts. There are three Sevres style porcelain plaques in total, all set on turquoise ground: the plaque to the front of the clock depicts a cherub and a nymph as well as containing the clock face with Roman numerals. The two sides of the clock case feature further porcelain plaques, which portray Neptune, Aurora and mermaids. The rectangular ormolu clock case is surmounted by a putto with a dog. There is a neoclassical pilaster at each corner of the case, each surmounted by a vase. The clock movement is stamped 'Hy Marc/Paris' and also contains the Japy Freres stamp, numbered 46684.
