Empire Gilt Bronze Clock of Standing Classical Lady Unveiling an Urn of Plenty

About the Item

A late French Empire mantle clock in gilded bronze depicting a standing classical lady on the left side of the clock plinth with her left arm outstretched holding drapery concealing the contents of a gilded urn. The urn contains numerous items including flowers; at her feet is a small lidded jewellery chest. The base she stands on has a frieze across the entire front showing a/the girl kneeling at her 'mothers' feet asking for a blessing. The quality of the bronze chasing is excellent as is the gilding. The dial is signed Rolland Dapere a Marseille, who was most likely the retailer. The original movement rings the hours and halfs on a bell.
