About the Item
This fine French Verdi marble and bronze mantel clock, circa late 19th century, is a remarkable example of neoclassical artistry and precision timekeeping. The piece features a beautifully cast bronze figure of a wise old scholar draped in flowing robes, seated in thoughtful repose beside the circular clock face. The scholar’s detailed beard, serene expression, and flowing drapery highlight the masterful bronze work, embodying wisdom and contemplation.
The clock itself is encased in gilt-accented bronze with Roman numeral markings, flanked by sculptural details including books and a laurel wreath, both symbolic of knowledge and honor. The base is constructed of rich Verdi marble panels set against black stone, offering a striking contrast that enhances the overall elegance. Gilt bronze paw feet lift the piece with grandeur, completing the refined design.
This French mantel clock is not only a functional timepiece but also a decorative objet d’art, perfect for collectors of antique French clocks, neoclassical décor, and fine bronze sculptures. Whether displayed on a mantel, desk, or console, it adds sophistication and historic charm to any interior.

Beautiful Quality Marble and Bronze Signed Three Piece 1920s era Clock Set
Located in Swedesboro, NJ
This impressive three-piece marble and bronze clock garniture set is a commanding example of classical decorative arts, combining sculptural presence with fine horological craftsmanship. Centered by a substantial mantel clock, the set is crowned with a dramatic eagle figural finial, a powerful symbol of strength, authority, and vigilance, often associated with grand European interiors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The clock features a finely detailed gilt bronze dial surround with clear Arabic numerals and is signed and dated on the back of the movement, underscoring its authenticity and quality. The movement is accessed with the original winding key, allowing the clock to remain fully functional as well as decorative. The case is constructed of richly veined polished marble, accented with classical bronze mounts and architectural moldings that enhance its stately form.
Flanking the clock are a matching pair of marble and bronze garnitures, each shaped as urn-form vases with scrolling handles and gilt bronze details. Their proportions and ornamentation balance the central clock perfectly, creating a cohesive and visually striking mantel or console display.

Clock: 21 1/8" H × 21" W × 7 1/2" D
Garnitures (each): 10" H × 8 7/8" W × 6 3/4" D
