About the Item

Step into the opulent world of 19th-century French artistry with this extraordinary Napoleon III mantel clock set, expertly carved from pristine white Carrara marble by the acclaimed J. Bondat around 1870. This exceptional three-piece ensemble is a testament to neoclassical grandeur, showcasing commanding geometric silhouettes and exquisitely sculpted acanthus leaf details that whisper timeless elegance and refined sophistication. At the heart of this magnificent trio lies an exquisite dial, framed in sumptuous gilded bronze and safeguarded by beveled glass. The dial's delicate enamel work, adorned with intricate floral motifs, reflects the impeccable artistry of the era. The clock preserves its original eight-day movement, accompanied by two authentic keys and a matching pendulum, all promising superb functionality with only a gentle servicing needed upon arrival to ensure flawless precision. Flanking the centerpiece are two majestic Carrara marble pedestals, originally intended to display prized statues or vases. Each pedestal bears J. Bondat's unmistakable hand-engraved signature beneath, affirming the authenticity and bespoke craftsmanship of this unparalleled set. Further enhancing its exclusivity is the unique carved monogram on the lower front, revealing its bespoke creation for a distinguished 19th-century patron. More than a mere timepiece, this remarkable clock set is a storied heirloom that effortlessly bridges the grandeur of French imperial design with contemporary interiors. Its commanding presence and considerable weight necessitate a robust mantel or substantial furniture to fully honor its regal bearing. This is not only a functional masterpiece but a rare collector's treasure destined to elevate any sophisticated living space. 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).
