About the Item

This fine French Verdi marble and bronze mantel clock, circa late 19th century, is a remarkable example of neoclassical artistry and precision timekeeping. The piece features a beautifully cast bronze figure of a wise old scholar draped in flowing robes, seated in thoughtful repose beside the circular clock face. The scholar’s detailed beard, serene expression, and flowing drapery highlight the masterful bronze work, embodying wisdom and contemplation. The clock itself is encased in gilt-accented bronze with Roman numeral markings, flanked by sculptural details including books and a laurel wreath, both symbolic of knowledge and honor. The base is constructed of rich Verdi marble panels set against black stone, offering a striking contrast that enhances the overall elegance. Gilt bronze paw feet lift the piece with grandeur, completing the refined design. This French mantel clock is not only a functional timepiece but also a decorative objet d’art, perfect for collectors of antique French clocks, neoclassical décor, and fine bronze sculptures. Whether displayed on a mantel, desk, or console, it adds sophistication and historic charm to any interior.
