This colorful longcase clock was created in France in the late 19th Century. It has been crafted from marble and onyx, and decorated with gilt bronze and champlevé enamel. Onyx was a popular crafts material in antiquity, but was forgotten about in the following centuries, until its re-discovery in Algeria in 1849 by a French marble-worker called Delmonte. Onyx became incredibly fashionable in France following this discovery, and whole room interiors were sometimes decorated in it. The clock consists of a circular enamel dial, mounted onto a cube-shaped case, placed on a tall body which is set on a short marble plinth. The circular clock dial features Arabic Numerals, and is ornamented with gilt bronze and colorful champlevé enamel designs. This is set within a circular gilt bronze and enamel frame, and mounted onto the green onyx block. The corners of the block are lined with gilt bronze bands, and the sides are set with circular, gilt-bronze-framed champlevé enamel forms. The clock face is surmounted by a slim projecting, green onyx and red marble top. This is edged with curvaceous champlevé enamel forms with gilt bronze drop-finials, which imitate fabric. This clock face is mounted onto a slim, red marble slab...
