Sèvres Style Gilt Bronze and Porcelain Mantel Clock

About the Item

This Sèvres style clock is an elegant piece of late 19th century design, which will make a wonderful addition to a mantelpiece. It has been beautifully cast in bronze and gilded (ormolu), and set with intricately-painted porcelain panels. The arched-top clock is surmounted by a beautiful oval-shaped porcelain panel depicting a young lady in 18th Century dress, with flowers in her powdered hair. This panel is displayed within a gilt bronze frame, which is draped with sculptural gilt bronze flower garlands. Below, a circular white enamel dial – inscribed with Roman Numerals and Arabic Numbers – is centrally positioned on the clock case. Around it, the gilt bronze case has been masterfully cast with intricate, classically-inspired motifs and foliage. The porcelain panels which decorate the case include two paintings of powdered-haired young ladies, a depiction of a cherub in flight, and several images of colourful flower swags, set against white grounds, within parcel gilt navy borders. The clock’s oval shaped base is set on gilt bronze toupie feet.

    This sophisticated gilt bronze mantel clock is an elegant piece of mid-19th century design, beautifully cast and gilded and set with two delicate Sèvres style porcelain panels. The clock case's finest feature is the charmingly naturalistic scene at its top, showing a full-length sculpture of a female figure sitting with a basket and two doves. They are displayed on a naturalistic, oval-shaped plinth, which is decorated all around its exterior with painstakingly intricate foliate motifs. Either side of the plinth there are two Sevres style porcelain panels, each of which shows a winged putto. One putto is shown writing, while the other is shown holding a dove. Each is set inside a turquoise blue border decorated with delicate gilt scrolls. In the centre of the plinth sits the clock dial, which is enamelled and contains Roman numerals.
