About the Item
Unique Mantel Clock in Elaborate Exotic Wood Case, Late 19th Century
Presenting a truly exceptional 19th-century mantel clock—an exquisite piece of horological artistry and woodworking mastery that will captivate any collector or connoisseur of antique décor.
This unique timepiece is housed in an intricately carved, openwork wooden case made of exotic hardwood. The elaborate fretwork forms a visually stunning silhouette, marrying ornamental delicacy with structural harmony. The clock is mounted on a stepped wooden base resting on finely cast brass feet, providing both elegance and stability. Crowning the structure is a finial made of genuine ivory, adding a touch of opulence and historic authenticity.
At its heart lies a high-quality French movement signed by Costeux à Paris, renowned for its refined craftsmanship during the 19th century. The clock features a cylinder escapement mechanism and chimes both on the hour and half-hour, offering not just beauty but functionality. The original white enamel dial with Roman numerals is framed by a gilded bezel, and the signature on the face—Costeux, 7 Rue St. Dominique, Paris—confirms its prestigious origin.
The mechanism is fully operational, recently serviced by a professional clockmaker, ensuring reliable performance. While the clock is in excellent condition overall, it is worth noting that the rear dust cover is missing—a minor omission that does not detract from the piece’s visual or mechanical appeal.
This one-of-a-kind mantel clock is more than a timekeeper; it is a conversation piece, a collector’s gem, and a testament to 19th-century artistry—ideal for a period interior or as a luxurious focal point in any refined setting.
