19th Century French Gilt Bronze Mantel Clock with Figural Couple and Marble Base

19th Century French Gilt Bronze Mantel Clock with Figural Couple and Marble Base

Located in SANT ADRIÀ DE BESÒS, ES

An impressive and highly decorative French mantel clock dating to the second half of the 19th century, executed in richly ornamented gilt metal with white stone inserts. The composition features an elegant standing lady and gentleman flanking the circular enamel dial, framed beneath an elaborate crest with twin birds and scrolling rococo ornament. The entire design reflects the celebrated French taste for theatrical and romantic interior pieces of the period. The architectural base is lavishly decorated with deep scrolling foliage, shell motifs and openwork ornament, contrasted beautifully by the white stone panels. The clock retains its original mechanical movement with bell strike, recently tested. It runs steadily and strikes correctly on the half hour and hour. During testing it operated reliably for several days. A striking statement piece for mantel, console or library interior. Dimensions Height: 42.5 cm (16.73 in) Width: 34 cm (13.39 in) Depth: 13 cm (5.12 in) Condition Good antique condition overall. Minor age-related wear and light rubbing to gilded surfaces.
