About the Item

Immerse yourself in the grandeur of 19th-century French mastery with this exquisite Napoleon III white Carrara marble mantel clock set, a rare masterpiece by J. Bondat, crafted circa 1870. This three-piece ensemble embodies the elegance of neoclassical design, featuring bold geometric forms and meticulously carved acanthus leaf motifs that exude refinement and sophistication. At the heart of the trio lies its magnificent dial—encased in gilded bronze framing with beveled glass protection—boasting delicate enamel detailing and intricate floral motifs. Preserving its authenticity, the clock retains its original movement, accompanied by two genuine keys and a pendulum. While its eight-day mechanism is in fine working condition, a light servicing upon arrival may ensure continued precision. Flanking the central timepiece are two stunning marble pedestals, designed initially to showcase statues or vases, each marked with J. Bondat's hand-engraved signature on the underside. A true one-of-a-kind creation, this ensemble was custom-made for its original 19th-century owner, complete with an exclusive carved monogram on the lower front. Beyond its historical significance, this clock set seamlessly complements any interior, effortlessly blending antique grandeur with modern sophistication. Given its substantial weight, it demands a solid fireplace or sturdy furniture to display its full majesty. Dimensions: Overall: 16.75 in wide (42.5 cm) by 8.69 in deep (22 cm) by 11.82 in high (30 cm). Each pedestal: 7.07 in wide (18 cm) by 7.07 in deep (18 cm) by 4.32 in high (11 cm).
