About the Item

Fine and meaningful, 19th century, goddess of war theme clock. Throughout the 19th century, French artisans have made some of the most amazing quality and meaningful antiques using the most expensive materials and techniques available. This finest quality made and relatively small mantle clock has all of that and that is why it resonates a timeless style that you don't find anymore in this day and age. On top of this clock you have the beautiful Athena bust and the front of this clock for the most part depicts the unique and detailed armour of a gladiator. The beautiful, solid marble base (with its minor imperfections) is 'surrounded' with a winner's wreath/laurel symbolising victory. Because all these bronze decorations are very ornate, the designer and maker of this fine clock have chosen a very plain dial face (design wise). With the enameled dial face being pure white and the Roman numerals and dial hands being not too large and black, this plain dial face brings perfect balance to the entire design of this clock. The eight day mechanism runs perfectly and this clock strikes a modest bell sound once on the half hours and on the holes as many times as the hour dial indicates. Thanks to the Roman black numerals on the pure white enameled dial face, telling time is easy from a larger distance as well. Another quality feature is the rounded glass door on the back via which you have access to the bell and pendulum at the back of the antique mechanism. So if you are looking for an impressive, stylish, meaningful and modest size antique clock to grace your mantel piece or desk or side table then this late 1800s French work of time telling art could be perfect for you. Mind you, our fair price for this great value for money antique clock even includes perfect packing and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door in just 3 to 5 days. Maximum height x width x depth: 13.9 x 5.9 x 4.5 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

Antique French Gilt Bronze and Lapis Lazuli Mantel Clock after Falconet

By Étienne Maurice Falconet

Located in London, GB

French sculptor Etienne-Maurice Falconet (1716-1791) is the inspiration for this beautiful, sumptuous mantel clock. His clock, crafted in the late 18th Century and now on display at the Louvre Museum, caused such a stir when it was exhibited over 100 years later, at the Great Exhibition in Paris in 1900 that one reviewer claimed that it "attracted so much admiration from the crowds gathered around that the pressure was sufficient at times to endanger its safety." As well as this famed 'Three Graces...

Rare Bronze & Black Marble Clock Set by Deniere A Paris the Philosopher, c.1860

By Maison Deniere

Located in Lisse, NL

Rare & fabulous Antique Napoleon lll clock garniture with incredible quality bronze sculptures. You will rarely see a clock garniture with bronzes of this quality and detail. The bearded thinker/philosopher on top of the marble clock is simply astonishing. His natural poisture, his hair, face and hands, but also his clothes, it is all of a quality and detail that only a master sculptor can achieve. And the patina also is just perfect. The philosopher is marked on the back and it reads 'BE x'. The two bronze female (classical maiden) sculptures are in fact two stunning candle holders and they too stand on beautifully shaped black marble bases with cartouches. These majestic candle holders are marked on the sides 'L.V.E. ROBERT' (Louis Valentin Elias Robert) and on the back they read 'AD x'. The black marble clock comes with a circular dial face with gilt Roman numerals and this clock has a well working movement. The movement is stamped 'DENIERE / A PARIS' and '2165'. On the bottom it reads A.Blacher and there also is a cachet with 'MEDAILLE D'OR / Paris / 1827'. If you like this one of a kind, clock set as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially, since perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days are complimentary. Maximum clock height x width x depth: 22 x 17 x 8.5 inches. The large figure candle holders...
