A striking sculptural mantel clock depicting a hunter sounding his horn, with a long gun in his other hand and a dark-finished deer at his feet. Oak foliage, acorns and a rocky landscape frame the scene above an elaborate Rococo-style case. The figure rewards close inspection: textured clothing, decorative cuffs, buckled straps and carefully defined facial features contrast with the smoother surfaces of the tall boots. A small hunting accessory hangs freely from a twisted-wire suspension, adding a distinctive dimensional detail to the composition. The modelling extends throughout the surrounding foliage and the textured surface of the animal. The richly ornamented case combines scrolling supports, pierced decoration, floral sprays and shell motifs. Two pale inset panels with applied gilt ornaments flank the white enamel dial, which features black Roman numerals, a minute track and open-circle hands. The gilding retains an attractive warm colour and gives the clock a strong decorative presence. The movement bears two stamps: “Vincenti & Cie - Médaille d’Argent” and “Fabrique Edward Barrard & Cie de Paris.” These inscriptions identify the names marked on the movement; the maker of the decorative case remains unconfirmed. The accompanying original winding key is included. Dimensions: Height 42 cm × width 34 cm × depth 13 cm (16.54 × 13.39 × 5.12 inches). Weight: 5.6 kg (12.35 lb) Condition: Good overall antique condition, with well-preserved gilding and light surface wear consistent with age. Localised enamel loss is present around the left winding aperture. Fine lines resembling cracks are visible in the decorative surround beneath the left inset panel. The rear movement opening is uncovered, as shown in the photographs. The movement was tested for 24 hours, during which the clock ran steadily and the striking mechanism operated correctly. This records its performance during the test period and does not constitute a guarantee of future operation or timekeeping accuracy. As with antique mechanical clocks...

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.

A Napoleon III Gilt-Bronze Mantel Clock, 'Pendule à Cercles Tournants', By Jean-François Denière, Paris. Of imposing scale, surrounded by four winged putti and garlands of flowers in clouds enveloping a bleu celeste tole star-studded sphere. On a shaped base with a wreath and courting doves. The square-plated movement with Brocot escapement and outside count wheel striking on a bell. Stamped to the backplate ‘Deniere A Paris’ and numbered ‘2385’. France, Circa 1860. This clock, magnificent of scale and conception, numbers amongst Denière's most impressive creations. Denière delivered clocks to the Emperor at the château du Fontainebleau in 1857 and 1861. Both are modelled with playful cherubs pulling foliate garlands which show the same designer as those to the present clock. They can be attributed to the sculptor Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse (1824 –1887) who from the 1850s produced for Denière models for candelabra, clocks, jardinieres and fireplace ornaments. Inspired by the Louis XVI style, the present clock with celestial sphere enclosing a complex rotating clock...

This three-piece set—composed of a clock and a pair of flanking candelabra—is a truly unique and delightful piece of decorative art. The clock is modelled in the image of an 18th century sedan chair – that is, a covered chair sat in by a member of the social elite, which was carried on poles by two people. This chair-shaped clock case is crafted from gilt bronze (ormolu) and decorated with festoons and a flower finial. At its centre, there is a circular white enamel dial, which features Arabic Numbers, colorful swag paintings, and the manufacturer’s name, 'Fd Gervais / Ft du Bronzes / A Paris'. The lower part of the case is glazed, allowing one to see the clock’s sun-burst pendulum. Like a sedan chair, the clock case is carried by two patinated bronze putti...

Wooden Mantel Clock Vincenti et Cie Late 19th century The mechanism is marked "Vincenti et Cie, Médaille d'Argent 1855, Made in France." Vincenti et Cie, established in 1823 by Jean Vincenti in Montbéliard, was revitalized by Albert Roux in 1829, who expanded and innovated the company. Under Roux's leadership, the firm continued its Montbéliard operations and opened a store in Paris in 1850 on Rue d'Anjou in the Marais. The company earned a silver medal (Médaille d'Argent) at the 1855 Exposition Universelle, for which this clock bears the mark "Médaille d'Argent, 1855," symbolizing its excellent craftsmanship. The clock dial is marked Bailey, Banks & Biddle for the oldest nationwide jeweler in America, originally founded in 1832 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The company is one of America's most prestigious retailers, known for creating the updated and final version of the Great Seal of the United States as well as the first 40,000 Purple Heart medals...
