About the Item
FRENCH NEO-GREC BLACK MARBLE AND PATINATED BRONZE MANTEL CLOCK
Edited by F. Barbedienne Fondeurs, Paris (faded engraving on dial), movement by Charles Boye circa 1880-1900
Item # 303PPQ23M
A very nice mantel clock in the Neo-Grec taste cast and assembled by the F. Barbedienne for sale through their catalogues, it incorporates the movement of clockmaker Charles Boye and features bas-relief plaques of Ancient Greece on the three outward facing sides. Two flank the circular dial, these featuring on the left two relaxed men talking with a young woman, on the right a solitary man offering something to two young women while a man supporting himself on a crutch listens intently. On the sides of the case, one panel shows a warrior and two other men and a horse in the center, the other showing another horse being walked along by a man and woman while a woman and child stroll ahead.
The circular dial is black in the ground with applied golden Roman numerals. The body of the clock is polished black marble with numerous cuts and curves, raised over animal feet with a parcel gilded trim along the underside. On the top of the clock are two small holes where an ornamental bronze would have been mounted.
Measurements: 18 1/8" W x 4 1/2" D x 8 5/8" H
Condition Report:
Two holes in the top from where a sculpture used to surmount the clock, scratches to the black marble on the top, seams in two corners above the feet, no pendulum or key and movement is untested.

- Austrian Art Deco Bronze Sculpture Mantel Clock by Anton Grath circa 1925By Anton GrathLocated in Shippensburg, PAART DECO FIGURAL MANTEL CLOCK Anton Grath (Austrian, b. 1881) patinated and burnished bronze over marble signed "Anton Grath" and foundry marking monogrammed "HW" within an "H" to right side of base Circa 1925 Item # 203AXG01W A powerful figural clock of a partially nude male and female raising offerings of a laurel wreath and an empty vessel, they face one another before the bold architectural display of the clock flanked by coned finials. They are loosely symmetrical in garb, the burnished bronze capes flowing gently around and before them. The circular face of the clock rests on a pair of sleeping lions over a textured bronze rectangular plinth with a burnished bronze bas-relief of a young woman lying in the grasses of a setting sun raised on a variated marble base. This model was acquired formerly at the Sotheby's, New York sale on April 14th 2008, [Sale N08427, lot 155, achieved $ 5,000 USD] and the patina was enhanced at some point in the last fourteen years to include the parcel-burnished highlights in the figures. The right side of the base includes the signature and a monogrammed foundry mark (HW within an H). A very fine period example. Artist Listings & Bibliography: *E.
