About the Item

A rare and whimsical French gilt bronze mantel clock dating to the late 19th century, featuring a strikingly detailed rhinoceros figure with dark patina supporting a porcelain floral-mounted clock case. The finely cast rhino stands atop a richly marble base with shaped gilt bronze mounts, exemplifying the playful yet refined aesthetic of the Belle Époque period. The porcelain floral garlands add a soft, decorative contrast to the strength of the animal form, while the classical clock face is encased in an ornate gilt housing. A true collector’s piece that captures the unique charm of 19th-century French decorative arts.
