About the Item

This vintage elaborately decorated French porcelain mantle clock dates from the 1850's. The delicate porcelain has hand painted colorful sculpted flowers, gleaming gold gilt scrolls & painted floral accents that comprise the body of this rare timepiece. The white enamel clock face has black Roman numerals. The clock fits comfortably on a separate porcelain platform with similar designs. Separate platforms such as this are rarely found with their companion clock in good condition, let alone the outstanding condition of this pair! The clock has a key wind string movement & is stamped with the makers name, Aubert & Klafenberger - Paris. Additionally, there is an oval punch mark featuring a big letter D & a small later z. This unusually beautiful clock has a bumble bee prominently displayed just beneath the clock face. I do not know the significance of the bumble bee. Unfortunately, the clock is being sold without a key or pendulum. Thus, it is sold as - is. 16 3/4" tall X 12 5/8" wide X 6 3/8" deep

Porcelain Clock in the Louis XV Style by Jacob Petit
By Jacob Petit
Located in London, GB
This antique porcelain mantel clock demonstrates the 19th century nostalgia for the delicately elegant decorative arts under King Louis XV, also known as the Rococo style. Crafted by celebrated porcelain artist Jacob Petit, this exquisite clock is particularly notable for the way in which the porcelain has been shaped so as to give the clock such a whimsically free-spirited, scrolling shape. The clock is formed as a clock case upon a lower base, which are both decorated as a though a singular piece with green glaze on a white ground, accented with painted floral panels and extensive gilt highlights all over. The clock case, which is particularly exuberant in design, features a central, circular clock dial. The white enamelled dial is bordered with beaded ormolu, and features black Roman numerals and the inscription 'Scherer'- the name of the 19th century Parisian clock...
