About the Item

This exquisite French mantel clock is a testament to 19th-century artistry and craftsmanship. Crafted from white marble and adorned with a gilded bronze sculpture, the clock features an allegorical figure of a reclining woman, elegantly dressed in a classical robe. Her serene expression and delicate pose convey a sense of refinement and grace, enhanced by the intricate detailing of her attire and the finely sculpted bird perched on her lap, adding a naturalistic touch to the scene. The clock mechanism, encased within the marble body, displays a clean enamel dial with Roman numerals, framed by an ornate gilded bezel. The back reveals a well-preserved movement, inscribed with the manufacturer’s marks and the number “781,” highlighting its authenticity and origin. The clock strikes on a bell, indicative of the high-quality mechanisms typical of its era. Please note that this clock has not been serviced and is sold as a decorative piece. While the mechanism appears intact and retains its original components, its functionality is not guaranteed, and the clock is recommended primarily for its aesthetic and historical value. Ideal for collectors or those who appreciate antique French décor, this piece captures the elegance of Neoclassical design while preserving the timeless beauty of 19th-century French craftsmanship.
