About the Item

This Circa 1900 French Black Slate and Marble Mantel Clock is a formidable and visually stunning timepiece that commands attention. Atop the clock sits a large, patinated bronze lion, captured in a majestic pose with its mouth open, as if ready to roar, embodying strength and pride. The clock case is crafted from exquisite black slate with marble segments that elegantly accent the edges, showcasing superior craftsmanship. The clock features a time-and-strike mechanism, ringing once to mark the half-hour and striking the hour, providing an auditory presence that complements its bold appearance. Despite its robust and masculine design, the clock is fitted with a bell instead of a gong, offering a softer, more refined sound. This classic piece features an escapement movement, a mechanism in many mechanical clocks. The escapement controls the release of energy from the clock's power source to the timekeeping element, ensuring that this energy is distributed in precise, equal intervals. This process allows the clock to maintain accurate time by converting continuous energy into a series of discrete impulses. These impulses drive the timekeeping element and synchronize the movement of the clock's hands with the timekeeping mechanism. In running condition, this clock is not only a functional timekeeper but also a statement of elegance and history, ideal for discerning collectors who appreciate fine craftsmanship and timeless design. H=20 in. W=11 in. D= 6 in. 35 lbs.
