About the Item

Louis XVI style ormolu mounted malachite column mantel clock. French, late 19th century. Measures: height 52cm, width 23cm, depth 20cm. With the circular dial set within a round drum case, this fine mantel clock, mounted on malachite columns is executed in Louis XVI style.

    Located in London, GB
    Large Louis XVI style malachite and ormolu mantel clock French, late 19th century Measures: Height 55cm, width 49cm, depth 31cm In the Louis XVI style, with a rectangular canted case in a later malachite veneer and adorned with ormolu mounts, this magnificent mantel clock was made in France in the late nineteenth century. The elaborate rectangular case features a swept top surmounted by a floral wreath and quiver of arrows trophy, flanked by floriate urn finials. It is decorated with twin draped putti, and an oval shaped cartouche cresting, which is united by floriate and fruiting ribbon tied pendant swags. The front of the piece is inset with foliate scroll mounts, and the canted corners bear floriate pendant garlands, above female mask heads. The whole piece is set on foliate toupie feet. The floral enamelled dial is painted with Arabic numerals and an outer five minute track. The brass twin movement strikes on two bells with a pendulum; there is a winder and adjusting key.
