About the Item
V&A Marie-Antoinette Mantel Clock – Sèvres Style Porcelain & Gilt Bronze, Sunburst & Swag Decoration, 39cm
An impressive Sèvres-style porcelain mantel clock, designed in homage to the grandeur of Marie-Antoinette and the lavish artistry of 18th century French decorative arts. Produced for the Victoria & Albert Museum collection, this exquisite clock is a faithful reproduction of royal French style, blending deep cobalt blue porcelain with finely detailed gilt metal mounts.
The case is richly decorated with beaded borders, laurel swags, and floral garlands, all framed within a lyre-shaped body crowned by a striking sunburst mask mount in the form of Apollo, a symbol often associated with Louis XIV and later adopted in Marie-Antoinette’s decorative commissions. The circular dial, surrounded by a gilt bezel with jewelled detail, features Roman numerals and delicate floral motifs, further enhancing its opulent character.
Standing 39 cm high, this clock represents both an elegant statement piece and a tribute to French Neoclassical design. Its combination of artistry and fine craftsmanship makes it a decorative treasure suited for collectors of Sèvres porcelain, ormolu-mounted objets d’art, and museum-inspired decorative clocks.

Antique French Rococo Brass Mantel Clock – Late 19th Century, Enamel Dial Signed Bardinot, 8-Day Bell Strike
A fine late 19th century French brass mantel clock, beautifully cast in the Rococo style with ornate foliate scrolls and decorative motifs. The enamel dial, signed Bardinot (indistinct), displays elegant Arabic numerals and finely shaped hands.
The clock houses an 8-day movement, striking on a bell, and retains its original pendulum, visible through the rear inspection door. The case is richly detailed with scrolling foliage, lattice textures, and decorative masks, all accentuated by the warm patina of the aged brass.
Measuring 35 cm high x 20 cm wide x 9 cm deep, this piece is both decorative and functional, offering collectors a fine example of French horology from the Belle Époque era. Its Rococo design makes it a striking addition to any mantelpiece, collection of antique clocks, or luxury interior décor.
