About the Item

Mid 19th C, France, a highly decorative antique mantel clock enclosed under a glass dome. The clock is made of alabaster, a material often used in neoclassical and empire-style clocks for its elegant and luxurious appearance. The clock is rectangular in shape, with a solid, block-like base supported by small rounded feet. The top features an urn-shaped finial, adding a decorative flourish that complements the neoclassical style. The front is adorned with carved garlands and floral motifs. These decorations are finely detailed, indicating skilled craftsmanship. The area just above the dial includes a row of small, carved rosettes or beading. The dial is circular and made of gilt bronze, which contrasts beautifully with the white marble body. The dial features black Roman numerals and delicately crafted hands, suggesting careful attention to detail. The center of the dial has intricate engraving, typical of high-quality clocks from this period. The chapter ring (the circular band that carries the numerals) has a delicately engraved pattern along its outer edge, which adds a refined texture and visual interest. The pattern consists of a series of concentric circles with detailed guilloché or engine-turned designs. The clock is housed under a glass dome, which is mounted on a wooden base. The dome serves both a protective and an aesthetic purpose, creating a sense of preservation and showcasing the clock as a valuable item. Dimensions: 20"h x 9.5"w x 5.5"d (clock) 23"h x 13"l x 7"w (dome) Condition Good/Fair, scattered nicks and scratches to case, lacking keys and pendulum, rubbing to gilding on base, glass without issue.
