About the Item
French pendulum fireplace mantel clock in chiseled gilded and patinated bronze. The upper part with rock formation depicting an equestrian statue of Emperor Napoleon I on horseback over the Alps at the Great St Bernard Pass raising his hat in a greeting gesture.
The inscription on the plinth commemorates the surrender of the Austrian army at Ulm on 20 October 1805 (Capitulation d'Ulm 17. 8bre 1805), after a battle fought near the city. At the same time, it generously pays tribute to the bravery of the defeated opponents (Honneur au Courage malheureux - honour for unfortunate courage).

- Napoleon III Period Gilt Bronze and Sèvres Style Porcelain Mantel ClockBy Miroy FrèresLocated in London, GBThis sophisticated gilt bronze mantel clock is an elegant piece of mid-19th century design, beautifully cast and gilded and set with two delicate Sèvres style porcelain panels.
