About the Item

Antique French Green Onyx Champlevé Enamel Marble Ormolu Pedestal Clock French, Late 19th Century Height 136 cm, Width 41 cm, Depth 33 cm An impressive French pedestal clock in green onyx, marble, and cloisonné enamel, this work exemplifies the luxury of late 19th-century decorative arts. Standing on a stepped marble base, the column is adorned with champlevé panels and finely cast ormolu mounts, including acanthus leaf capitals and beaded bands. A central lyre-shaped aperture reveals the pendulum, which concludes in a sunburst motif evocative of Apollo. The cuboid clock case features a circular dial with Arabic numerals surrounding a floral enamel centre, encircled by an ormolu bezel. The corners are enriched with ormolu mounts, while the projecting top is decorated with enamel drapery forms and ormolu finials. Several mounts are stamped ‘CV’. Combining technical excellence with decorative finesse, this distinguished clock makes a striking addition to any collection of 19th-century European decorative arts.

Onyx, Marble, Gilt Bronze and Champlevé Enamel Pedestal Clock
Located in London, GB
This colorful pedestal clock has been crafted from fine red marble and green onyx, and beautifully decorated with gilt bronze (ormolu) and champlevé enamel. While a popular crafts material in ancient times, onyx was largely forgotten about until its rediscovery in the mid-19th century in Algeria by a French marble-worker called Delmonte. Onyx became highly fashionable in France following this discovery, and it was used to create a variety of decorative art objects. The clock features a green onyx cube-shaped case, which is surmounted by a slightly projecting red marble top. This top is fringed with champlevé enamel drapery-like motifs, with gilt bronze drop-finials. The case is mounted on its front with a circular dial, which features a central floral champlevé enamel motif, encircled by black Arabic Numerals. This dial is set within a gilt bronze egg-and-dart and champlevé enamel bezel. The sides of the case are mounted with circular gilt bronze barometers...
