An impressive French mantel clock dating to the mid-19th century, featuring an elegant combination of richly gilt bronze and finely patinated bronze. The sculptural composition depicts a young boy seated on horseback, raising a riding crop while gently holding the reins. Set upon a naturalistic rocky landscape with foliage and a bird, the finely modelled group rises above an elaborate Rococo Revival gilt-bronze clock case adorned with scrolling acanthus, flowers, grape clusters and gardening attributes. The beautifully pierced gilt-bronze case frames a white enamel dial with Roman numerals, creating a striking contrast with the dark patinated sculpture above. The original gilt surface remains exceptionally vibrant and well preserved, giving the clock remarkable visual presence. The movement bears the original “Les Japy Fils – Médaille d’Argent 1844 et 1849” award medallion. Founded by Frédéric Japy in 1777, the Japy workshops became one of the foremost manufacturers of French clock movements during the nineteenth century. The medallion commemorates the silver medals awarded to the firm at the French National Industrial Expositions of 1844 and 1849 and supports a manufacture date after 1849. The movement has been tested for more than twenty-four hours and is currently running correctly. Both the timekeeping and striking functions operate properly at the time of cataloguing. The clock is accompanied by its original winding key, a later pendulum and removable rear brass cover. A substantial and highly decorative French mantel clock that combines excellent sculptural quality, beautifully preserved gilding and a documented Les Japy Fils movement, making it an outstanding display piece for both traditional and eclectic interiors. Details: Dimensions: Height: 46 cm (18.1 in.); Width: 36 cm (14.2 in.); Depth: 14 cm (5.5 in.). Condition: Good antique condition. The movement has been tested for more than twenty-four hours and is currently running correctly, with both the timekeeping and striking functions operating properly at the time of cataloguing. The gilt bronze retains an excellent appearance with only light age-related wear. The white enamel dial has one fine hairline crack and a tiny edge chip. The riding crop held by the boy appears to have a small loss to its tip. Historic repairs and soldering are visible to the rear feet and within the back of the case. These repairs are stable, the clock stands securely, and they are largely invisible during normal display. Later pendulum. Original winding key and removable rear brass cover included. As with all antique mechanical clocks...

Exceptional Murano glass table clock produced by Barovier & Toso in Italy during the 1950s–1960s. The piece is composed of a substantial circular ring of hand-blown Murano glass executed in filigrana technique, featuring an internal white lattimo decoration arranged in a continuous helical pattern. This sculptural glass frame surrounds a circular clock face mounted on a smoked glass support with a finely detailed gilt-metal structure and stand. The remarkable purity and optical dynamism of the glass reflect the refined Venetian craftsmanship associated with mid-century Murano production. Both decorative and architectural in presence, the clock embodies the elegant balance between sculpture and functional design characteristic of Italian glassmaking of the period. The restrained silvered dial with minimalist Arabic numerals and delicate gilt hands contrasts beautifully with the expressive movement of the surrounding glass, creating a highly sophisticated modernist composition. Founded in 1936 through the merger of Vetreria Artistica Barovier and Ferro Toso, Barovier & Toso became one of the most important Murano glass manufacturers of the 20th century. Under the artistic direction of Ercole Barovier, the company developed some of the most celebrated Venetian glass techniques and designs, including Crepuscolo, Brillantati, Zebrati, Acanto and the iconic Cordonato d’Oro series. A rare and highly decorative example of Italian mid-century Murano artistry. Period 1950–1959 Origin Murano, Venice, Italy Materials Murano glass, blown glass, filigrana glass, brass, gilt metal Condition Near-perfect conservation state. The piece presents exceptionally well with no chips, cracks, or visible structural damages to the Murano glass elements. The clock mechanism has been professionally checked and is in perfect working condition. Minor superficial wear consistent with age and careful vintage use.

A refined French mantel clock garniture set executed in gilt bronze and white stone, dating to the 19th century. The ensemble consists of a central pendulum clock accompanied by a matching pair of decorative urns. The architectural composition with classical columns reflects the neoclassical taste characteristic of French decorative arts of the period. The clock features an enamel dial with black numerals and finely shaped hands, housed within a cylindrical case suspended between two columns. The case is adorned with cast gilt bronze mounts incorporating floral and classical decorative motifs, while the pendulum is decorated with a sun mask motif. The accompanying urns echo the design language of the clock, combining white stone bodies with gilt bronze mounts and twin handles, creating a balanced three-piece composition suitable for mantel or console display. Attribution and dating remain based on stylistic characteristics visible in the set. The exact stone type has not been professionally tested.
