About the Item

Stylish French clock set in the Retour d'Egypt style based on French Empire clocks from the early 19th century. The clock set upon a good rectangular Sienna marble base on which are four well decorated bun feet holding a further patinated bronze rectangular base. The front of the base has applied gilt bronze floral mounts. A patinated bronze obelisk rises from the base with an Egyptian figure on each side kneeling upon a cushion. A further applied on the base of the oblisk is a winged serpent stick between two cornucopia. The drum case for the clock movement and dial is fixed to the centre of the obelisk with a baiting eagle upon lightning bolts ( a representation of Zeus) to the top. The movement drum well decorated with concentric circles of Amthemion, leaf and dart and other decorative motifs. The clock has a glass bezel and white enamel dial on copper with Roman and Arabic numerals and well pierced gilt bronze hands. The movement is an 8 day timepiece movement regulated by a lever escapement ( so no need for a pendulum). The sidepieces are candlesticks, set on a square but shaped Sienna marble base with ormolu moulding of stiff leaf and dart decoration rising to a further Sienna marble cube with applied ormolu laurel leaf mount. To the top of the pedestal is a classical maiden standing uoon a ball with her arms crossed and a candle sconce upon her head.
